The aim of this master´s thesis was the evaluation of options that should lead to the elimination of the harmful effects of the white grubs of Melolontha hippocastani to the gradational area of Moravian Sahara (part of forest maintenance LS Stážnice, the Bzenec district). The effectiveness of chosen preparations (Force 1,5 G and Actara 25 WP) on the white grubs of Melolontha hippocastani was observed and conducted under controlled conditions in the ´container experiment´ with 380 seedlings of Pinus sylvestris. This experiment was repeatedly conducted five times over a period of 3 years. The results show that the most effective preparation against the white grubs is Actara 25 WG (200 up to 400 g/ha/600 l water) in the form of watering. This preparation in the form of spraying was ineffective. Inconsistent results were reached with the preparation Force 1,5 G. At the same time, the vertical movements of white grubs during their development stages in the soil were being observed over the period of 2015–2018. This observation took place in the drill holes of the following proportions 50 x 50 x 60–140 cm. The results confirmed that the depth of wintering of the white grubs and their movements during their vegetative state depends on the soil´s temperature and moisture, and the available sources of food to the current instar of the white grub.

This study was conducted at Escola de Agronomia e Engenharia de Alimentos of Universidade Federal de Goiás , in Goiânia, and at commercial areas and seedlings of nursery of Usina Jalles Machado S/A , in Goianésia, Goiás State, Brazil, in period from December of 2006 to November of 2007. Three experiments were conducted, being one without and two with the presence of root froghopper Mahanarva fimbriolata. In these experiments, thiamethoxam was used in the doses 0 g of active ingredient (i.a.).ha-1, 100 g i.a.ha-1, 150 g i.a.ha-1e 200 g i.a.ha-1, with application accomplished in December end, being evaluated the number of nymphs of January to May, and in the crop, the yield and technological parameters. To evaluate the thiamethoxam effect in the initial development of the plants two experiments they were led: one in acrylic boxes (3,5 x 11 x 11 cm) with substrate and other in tubes of PVC (0,20 x 1,20 m) with soil. In the first the variety was used RB867515, with the same doses of the field experiments, being evaluated development of the above-ground part and roots, third days after the application of the insecticide. In tubes, conducted the experiment in factorial scheme, with two varieties (RB867515 and SP80-1816) and six doses (0 g, 50 g, 100 g, 150g, 200 g and 250 g i.a.ha-1), being evaluated the parameters, tillers number, height, diameter of stem, length of the roots, shoot and root dry matter mass, 130 days after the application of the insecticide. In the field experiments, all the thiamethoxam doses were efficient in the population reduction of M. fimbriolata, not differing statistical between itself. The thiamethoxam application made possible increment in the agricultural productivity of 7,98 t.ha-1, with increase in the industrial revenue. The technological parameters were not influenced by the thiamethoxam application. In acrylic boxes there was increment of up to 3,7 times in the mass it evaporates of the roots in treated seedlings with thiamethoxam. In tubes of PVC, effect of thiamethoxam doses was observed in the increase of the diameter and dry weight of roots. / O objetivo do presente trabalho foi determinar os efeitos de thiamethoxam na fisiologia da cana-de-açúcar. A pesquisa foi conduzida nas áreas comerciais, no viveiro de mudas da Usina Jalles Machado S.A., no município de Goianésia, GO e na estufa do Setor de Manejo Integrado de Pragas, Escola de Agronomia e Engenharia de Alimentos, Universidade Federal de Goiás, no período de dezembro de 2006 a novembro de 2007. Foram conduzidos três experimentos em campo, sendo um sem e dois com a presença da cigarrinha-das-raízes Mahanarva fimbriolata. Nestes experimentos, utilizou-se thiamethoxam nas doses de 0 g de ingrediente ativo (i.a.).ha-1, 100 g i.a.ha-1, 150 g i.a.ha-1 e 200 g i.a.ha-1, com aplicação realizada no final de dezembro, avaliando-se a população da cigarrinha-das-raízes de janeiro a maio, e na colheita, a produtividade e as características tecnológicas. Para avaliar o efeito de thiamethoxam no desenvolvimento inicial das plantas foram conduzidos dois experimentos: um em caixas de acrílico (3,5 x 11 x 11 cm) com substrato e outro em tubos de PVC (0,2 x 1,20 m) com solo. No primeiro foi utilizada a variedade RB867515, com as mesmas doses dos experimentos de campo, avaliando-se desenvolvimento da parte aérea e sistema radicular aos trinta dias após a aplicação do inseticida. Nos tubos, conduziu-se o experimento em arranjo fatorial, 6 x 2, com duas variedades (RB867515 e SP80-1816) e seis doses de thiamethoxam (0 g i.a.ha-1, 50 g i.a.ha-1, 100 g i.a.ha-1, 150 g i.a.ha-1, 200 g i.a.ha-1 e 250 g i.a.ha-1), avaliando-se as características número de perfilhos, altura, diâmetro do colmo, comprimento das raízes, massa seca do sistema radicular e da parte aérea, aos 130 dias após a aplicação do inseticida. Nos experimentos de campo, todas as doses de thiamethoxam foram eficientes na redução populacional de M. fimbriolata, não diferindo estatisticamente entre si. A aplicação de thiamethoxam possibilitou incremento na produtividade agrícola de até 7,98 t.ha-1, com aumento no rendimento industrial. As características tecnológicas não foram influenciadas pela aplicação de thiamethoxam. Em caixas gerbox houve acréscimo de até 3,7 vezes na massa seca do sistema radicular em mudas tratadas com thiamethoxam. Em tubos de PVC, observou-se efeito das doses de thiamethoxam no aumento do diâmetro e massa seca das raízes.
