Resumo
The excessive application of pesticides has had negative effects, not only on nature,
water quality and food security, but also on human health. In addition, the growing
resistance of insects to chemical insecticides has made it difficult to control pests such
as the whitefly. Among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) chosen by the
UN, the second aims to eliminate hunger, ensure food security, increase nutrition and
promote sustainable agriculture. The goal is to double agricultural productivity and the
income of small food producers by 2030, in addition to securing food production
systems and implementing resilient agricultural practices. In view of this, it is essential
to expand integrated pest management strategies, including biological control.
Lallemand and EMBRAPA, together, formulated a biological product based on the
fungus Cordyceps javanica, known as Lalguard Java. The objective of this work is to
evaluate which factors are involved in the adoption of this biological product. Through
a qualitative and quantitative research that used groups. Most seniors have low
education, in addition to this there is a clear difficulty in accessing quality information,
which can negatively influence the adoption of new technologies. Products that know
the effectiveness of biological control are 81.81% more likely to adopt biological control
with the fungus LALGUARD JAVA if it is efficient in controlling the whitefly and if it does
not cause harm to humans and the environment. Producers who know the effectiveness
of biological control have a 135.57% greater chance of adopting biological control with
the fungus LALGUARD JAVA if it presents a cost and mortality level similar to those of
chemical control.
