Se identificaron enemigos naturales asociados a escamas armadas en aguacate Hass, y el porcentaje de parasitoidismo ramas frutos. Los muestreos se realizaron huertas certificadas para exportación Michoacán, México. De julio 2009 septiembre 2010 colectaron quincenalmente sus entomófagos cinco huertos, mientras que nueve bimestrales (mayo septiembre) determinar niveles parasitoidismo. En cada muestreo contó por especie total vivas parasitadas estadio. identifi- caron tres especies Hemiberlesia...
This is the first record of ash whitefly Siphoninus phillyreae (Haliday, 1835) and its parasitoid Encarsia inaron (Walker, 1839) on Fraxinus sp. in Morelos, Mexico.
The association between the entomophagous Lepidoptera Laetilia coccidivora (Comstock, 1879) is recorded for first time with species of Coccoidea Coccus pseudomagnoliarum (Kuwana, 1914). This phytophagous insect also represents record Mexico. material was obtained from municipality Cortazar, Guanajuato, host plant, Acacia farmesiana (L.) Willd. & Arn., a new as scale insect. voracity larvae this lepidopteran considerably reduced individuals collected.
Avocado orchards in eight avocado-producing states of México were sampled to collect and identify the armored scale insect species (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) that attack crop their natural enemies. Sixteen scales identified, 12 from subfamily Aspidiotinae four Diaspidinae. A dichotomous key is provided for identification 18 associated with avocado central México. Forty enemies also recorded, most important belonging Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae, Encyrtidae, Eulophidae, Signiphoridae, Coleoptera:...
Opuntia ficus-indica is a cactus distributed in more than 30 countries the word, it affected by presence of hemipteran, which superfamily Coccoidea stand out, sessile insect, with hard cover (armored scales) or without (soft scales). There are other species coccoids known as armed scales country, little studied, since they usually secondary pests crops. Therefore, objective this work to present first record scale on O. Mexico. For this, cladodes were collected and placed tricot-nylon bags...
Armored scales and their parasitoids were collected identified from avocado orchards in 2 municipalities of the state Mexico; population fluctuation parasitism 3 most abundant armored also determined. The species (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) Hemiberlesia cyanophylli (Signoret), Davidsonaspis aguacatae (Evans, Watson, & Miller), Diaspis nr. coccois (Lichtenstein), lataniae rapax (Comstock); as well associated Encarsia aurantii (Howard), citrina (Craw), gaonae (Myartseva Evans), lounsburyi...
