Impact of the number of Spodoptera frugiperda egg layers on parasitism by Trichogramma atopovirilia

Abstract: Egg parasitoids of the genus Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) can be found in several crops attacking Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith, 1797) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) eggs. It is therefore necessary to demonstrate the capacity of these natural enemies in suppressing populations of the pest to allow them to be used in biological control programs against that species. This work had the objective of evaluating the impact of egg layer distribution in S. frugiperda egg masses on the parasitism capaci… Show more

“…These eggs can be parasitized by Chelonus species (Garcia-Martín et al 2005) but not by Trichogramma. However, insofar as the age of adult females rises, they oviposit less compactly and with scarce scale-protection (Belda et al 1994, Consoli et al 1999, thus, this makes them accessible to Trichogramma parasitisation (Beserra and Parra 2005).…”

“…In order to obtain such densities eggs were counted multiplying the number of eggs in the superior layer by the number of deposition layers of each egg mass. The number of eggs on the edges was added to the total (Beserra & Parra 2005).…”

“…O experimento foi realizado com quatro tratamentos, que consistiram em diferentes densidades de fêmeas de T. remus (1, 3, 6 e 9), expostas a posturas de Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) contendo 100 ovos. Para a contagem dos ovos utilizou-se o método proposto por Beserra & Parra (2005). Cada um dos tratamentos foi composto por 10 repetições.…”
