RESUMO:

 This thesis constitutes the first study conducted in Brazil specifically dedicated to the arthropod fauna associated with Cannabis sativa L. and aimed to establish a scientific basis for the development of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs for the crop in the country. First, a systematic review of the international literature characterized the diversity of arthropods recorded in cannabis crops, their functional groups, the levels of association between phytophagous species and the plant, natural enemies, and the IPM tactics described in the studies analyzed. Phytophagous species were also contextualized within the Brazilian phytosanitary scenario through comparison with the official lists of Quarantine Pests Absent (PQA) and Quarantine Pests Present (PQP), the Hierarchization of Pests of Greatest Phytosanitary Risk in Brazil, and the phytosanitary requirements for the importation of C. sativa L. seeds. At the national level, a survey conducted with medicinal cannabis producer associations resulted in the first Brazilian report on cannabis pests and natural enemies, compiling information on arthropod occurrence and distribution, plant injuries, monitoring practices, management strategies, and the main challenges faced by growers. Records obtained during technical visits documented species of recognized importance to Brazilian agriculture, including Aphis gossypii Glover, 1877, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong, 1923), Caliothrips phaseoli (Hood, 1912), Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith, 1797), and Chloridea virescens (Fabricius, 1777), as well as associated plant injuries and natural enemies. The systematic field survey revealed differences in arthropod richness, abundance, and community composition among crop phenological stages, recorded phytophagous species of agricultural importance in Brazil, such as Frankliniella schultzei (Trybom, 1910), and showed a strong positive association between the abundance of phytophagous arthropods and natural enemies. Finally, bioassays demonstrated the predatory potential of Orius insidiosus (Say, 1832), Chrysoperla externa (Hagen, 1861), and Doru luteipes (Scudder, 1876) on Aphis gossypii Glover, 1877 on C. sativa L. leaves, providing an experimental basis for future biological control evaluations. Overall, the results establish a pioneering reference on the arthropod fauna associated with cannabis in Brazil and integrate taxonomic, ecological, and applied information that is fundamental for the development of IPM programs adapted to Brazilian conditions.
