Background:
Neento was founded in July 2013 by students of the
Department of Entomology, and initially supervised
by Professor Geraldo Andrade Carvalho. It emerged
as an offshoot of the Center for Studies in Integrated
Pest Management (Nemip 2008-2013) with the aim of
addressing other lines of research lines in entomology.
Since its foundation, Neento has already organized
technical-scientific events (mini-courses and cycles of
lectures), extension activities such as “Entomology in
the Square,” as well as social events to integrate the
members of the department. It is currently coordinated
by Professor Rosangela C. Marucci with the assistance
of Professor Luís Claudio Paterno Silveira.
Overall Objectives:
To organize technical and scientific events in the area
of soil science; to raise awareness in society of the
importance of the rational use of land in the best use
of natural resources; to carry out extension activities
related to soil science; to carry out activities in the field
of education in soil science.
Areas of Expertise:
1. Agricultural Entomology: Seminars, lectures, round
tables on insect physiology, behavior and ecology and
their implications for the integrated management of
agricultural pests.
2. Forest Entomology: Seminars, lectures, round tables,
technical visits to companies related to integrated
management of forest pests.
3. Medical-Veterinary and Forensic Entomology:
Seminars, lectures, round tables on interactions
involving insects and/or pathogens in humans and
animals and the use of insects in criminalistics.
4. Education: Events that enable the spread and insertion
of insect knowledge in the local culture and society.
