Abstract

The objective of this work was to detect priority regions of the Brazilian Cerrado for monitoring of Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Municipalities with high production of cotton, soybean, corn, tomato, beans, coffee, orange, pine, and eucalyptus, based on data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics, were considered in 2012. This information was spatialized and crossed with the occurrence of Cerrado areas, using ArcGIS 10.3. One hundred forty‑one municipalities located in eight states and in the Federal District were prioritized. The crops evaluated and found in these sites should be under constant monitoring, even when out of action range, because they are potentially subject to the migration of moths.
