Effect of Host Plants on Predator Prey Relationship between Predatory Bug, Orius laevigatus (Fiber) [Hemiptera: Anthocoridae] and Tobacco Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) [Homoptera: Aleyrodidae]

Abstract: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of host plants on the predatory bug, O. laevigatus. Tobacco whitefly, B. tabaci was offered on tomato and eggplant leaf discs as food source for the predator in the laboratory at temperature of 25±1?C, 75±5% R.H, and 16 L: 8 D photoperiod regime. Results showed that adults of O. laevigatus were able to feed on both eggs and larval instars of B. tabaci maintained either on tomato or eggplant. O. laevigatus preferred significantly (P < 0.05) feeding on B. tab… Show more
