In the YouTube video "Ativo tecnológico para o controle de moscas-das-frutas," the presenter introduces a new technology developed by Embrapa and partners for controlling the Carambola fruit fly using a microorganism isolated from Amazonian soil. This bioinsecticide, which has the potential to control not only the Carambola fruit fly but also other economically important fruit fly species, has shown promising results in Amapá with a high percentage of control. This technology is significant for Brazilian fruit farming as the Carambola fruit fly, or Mosca da carambola, is a quarantined pest and the principal quarantined pest in Brazilian fruit farming. It attacks various hosts, making its control crucial for the industry. This fungus-based bioinsecticide can attack larvae, pupae, and adult fruit flies that have not yet emerged, and adult flies that emerge infected do not survive more than 10 days and are unable to produce decent offspring. Companies interested in this technological advancement can contact the head of technology transfer at Embrapa for more information.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the YouTube video titled "Ativo tecnológico para o controle de moscas-das-frutas," the presenter discusses a powerful new technology developed by Embrapa and its partners for controlling the Carambola fruit fly. This technological active is based on a microorganism isolated from Amazonian soil and has a high potential for controlling not only the Carambola fruit fly but also other economically important fruit fly species such as Ceratitis capitata and Anastrepha fraterna. The results obtained in Amapá are promising, with a high percentage of control. This fungus is an important ally for Brazilian fruit farming, not only for Carambola but also for other fruits like goiaba, acerola, and manga. The Mosca da carambola, or Carambola fruit fly, is a quarantined pest in Brazil and is considered the principal quarantined pest in Brazilian fruit farming. It attacks various hosts, making its control crucial for the industry. This bioinsecticide technology is applied to the projection of the Copas das Frías hosts and is capable of attacking larvae, pupae, and adult fruit flies that have not yet emerged. Adult fruit flies that emerge infected do not survive more than 10 days and are unable to produce decent offspring. Companies seeking innovation and wanting to be part of this technological advancement can contact the head of technology transfer at Embrapa for more information to finalize this technological article, which will be of great importance to Brazilian fruit farming.
