The endoparasitoid Tetrastichus howardi (Olliff) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) can be reared with the alternative host Tenebrio molitor (Linnaeus) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae). Host storage at low temperatures regulate parasitoid production and demand in biological control programs. life cycle (egg to adult), parasitism emergence percentage, number of parasitoids emerged per pupae, sex ratio, longevity T. offspring pupa were evaluated after temperature this for different periods, its immature...
ABSTRACT Bioassays to evaluate the selectivity of pesticides beneficial organisms are important tools discriminate products compatible with biological pest control programs. This study aimed effects main insecticides used in soybean crop on egg parasitoid Ooencyrtus submetallicus (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae). The tested treatments (active ingredients) were: methomyl, lambda-cyhalothrin + thiamethoxam, beta-cyfluthrin imidacloprid, novaluron and teflubenzuron, highest doses indicated by...
Abstract Knowledge about the ideal host ratio per female parasitoid reared in glass tubes is important for obtaining descendants with better biological quality. The study aimed to evaluate reproduction of Ooencyrtus submetallicus (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) females egg densities Euschistus heros (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) find most adequate relationship between parasitoids and hosts aiming at multiplication. experiment was conducted E. eggs (parasitoid:host) 1:3, 1:6, 1:9, 1:12, 1:15, or 1:18...
