“…The number individuals of this specie collected in the years that the releases were made, show that the participation of this insect was a determinant for the increase in the indexes of parasitism (table 3) and, in general, D. longicaudata was responsible for more than 88% of parasitism of fruit flies. The increase in the indexes of parasitism or reduction of the population of fruit flies were verified in many places where D. longicaudata was introduced, such as Florida (BARANOWSKI et al, 1993) and Mexico (MONTOYA;CANCINO, 2004).…”

ABSTRACT-Diachasmimorpha longicaudata (ashmead) (hymenoptera: Braconidae) was introduced in 1994, in Northeastern Brazil, to evaluate its use in biological control programs of fruit flies. However, the effects of this specie on parasitism rates on the population of native parasitoids and fruit flies in Southern Brazil conditions are unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of releases of D. longicaudata on the parasitism rates on loquats, peach trees, strawberry guava trees, and persimmons in an experimental area in the city of Eldorado do Sul, Rio Grande do Sul, in southern Brazil. In the first year of the study, fruits were collected and stored in the laboratory to obtain pupae. The flies or parasitoids that emerged were counted and identified. In the second year, adults of D. longicaudata were reared in the laboratory on Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.) and larvae were released in the field (1.700 insects/ha) at each harvest time and the parasitism was evaluated in the same manner as in the first year. In the third year, the procedure was the same as the first year, without any releases. A significant increase in the rates of parasitism was recorded in the second year except in the persimmon, in which no parasitoid was recovered in any year. In the second year the number of emerged fruit flies was also lower. In the third year, no D. longicaudata were recorded and parasitism rates of parasitism were statistically similar to those found in the first year. The native parasitoids collected were Aganaspis pelleranoi (Brèthes), Doryctobracon areolatus (szépligeti), Doryctobracon brasiliensis (szépligeti) and Utetes anastrephae (Viereck). These species were found in at least one kind of fruit even in the years after the introduction of the exotic parasitoid, indicating that it was not harmful to these species. We conclude that D. longicaudata can help to reduce the population of fruit flies in Eldorado do Sul region, in Rio Grande do Sul.Index terms -biological control, Anastrepha fraterculus, Aganaspis pelleranoi, Doryctobracon, Utetes anastrephae.

“…controle biológico clássico de moscas frugívoras, com exemplos de utilização prática em diversos países. Na Flórida, por exemplo, essa espécie destaca-se pela facilidade de criação em laboratório e rápida adaptação aos ambientes onde é liberada, bem como pela condição de especialista no parasitismo de grande número de espécies de tefritídeos (BARANOWSKI et al, 1993 (CARVALHO & NASCIMENTO, 2002).…”

“…This parasitoid species has been successfully used in many countries for the control of Anastrepha, Bactrocera and Ceratitis species, by being released mainly in combination with sterile insects (Baranowski et al, 1993;Vargas et al, 2001;Orozco et al, 2002;Benelli et al, 2014). Despite its wide use as biological control agent in other countries, a limited number of studies reflect its susceptibility to pesticides, being in most of the cases, tested in a one by one basis (Stark et al, 1992(Stark et al, , 2004Purcell et al, 1994;Vargas et al, 2001).…”

Citrus agro-industry is globally harshened mainly by Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), the most worldwide destructive tephritid fruit fly species. Citrus agro-industry is one of the pillars of Tunisia economy, and by hence, harshened by this species. Tunisia has established an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme against citrus pests, including C. capitata, that rely on the structured use of pesticides, on the application several trapping protocols, along with pilot-scale sterile insect technique program and, since 2013, with pilot-scale releases of the braconid parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata Ashmed (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). Insecticide sideeffects on parasitoids and other natural enemies are being requested for a successful implementation of biological control within any IPM programme. However, these data are almost scarce for the braconid species D. longicaudata. To this end, we have determined the side-effects of malathion, methidathion, acetamiprid, azadiractin, abamectin, deltametrin+thiacloprid and spinosad, as the most popular insecticides used in Tunisia either as fresh residues or at several aged time points, on the parasitoid D. longicaudata according the IOBC pesticide harm-classification. IOBC classification evolution of residues over time had allowed determining the best combination of pesticide applications in a structured fashion with the viable releases of D. longicaudata for the control of C. capitata in Tunisian citrus agro-ecosystems.
