“…da mesma forma, Sperber et al (2004) verificaram influência positiva da riqueza de árvores de vegetação remanescente em plantios de cacau (Theobroma cacao, Sterculiaceae) sobre a riqueza de famílias de parasitóides (Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, Encyrtidae, Scelionidae, entre outros). Uma grande diversidade de plantas nativas significa maior disponibilidade de néctar e açúcares em geral, que servem de alimento para parasitóides adultos, aumentando sua longevidade e fecundidade (Johanowicz & Mitchell 2000, Sperber et al 2004, Wanderley et al 2004. dessa forma, remanescentes de cerrado podem abrigar potenciais inimigos naturais de G. brimblecombei, que controlariam suas populações nas zonas de contato com os talhões.…”

Effects of Landscape Structure and Eucalyptus Genotype on the Abundance and Biological Control ofGlycaspis brimblecombei Moore (Hemiptera: Psyllidae)ABSTRACT -Glycaspis brimblecombei Moore is an Australian native pest of Eucalyptus detected in Brazil in 2003. Since then, it has spread fast and colonized plantations in several states of the country. This study aimed to investigate the influence of cerrado remnants on the abundance and biological control of G. brimblecombei. We placed yellow sticky card traps to capture insects in four plantations of hybrid clones of Eucalyptus urophylla x Eucalyptus grandis ("Urograndis") and four plantations of E. urophylla x Eucalyptus camaldulensis ("Urocam"). Traps were placed in three areas of these plantations: center, border with cerrado and border without cerrado. We also collected leaves from the same clones to estimate psyllid egg and lerp abundance. The abundance of G. brimblecombei was lower in the plantation-cerrado border, and the inverse pattern was observed for microhymenopterans. The leaf abaxial surface showed a higher abundance of eggs and nymphs, probably as a consequence of a lower parasitism rate and mechanical removal by wind and rain. Egg number was higher on Urograndis than in Urocam clones, but the number of psyllid lerps was higher in the latter. Thus, the establishment of first instars is probably a critical event to psyllid infestation, and these differences may be caused by morphological, anatomical and biochemical leaf features of distinct clones. Our results suggest that the maintenance of native vegetation around plantations is a promising management practice to promote the natural biological control of G. brimblecombei, a strategy that would also enhance the preservation of cerrado remnants.

The diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), is one of the most destructive cosmopolitan insect pests of brassicaceous crops. It was the first crop insect reported to be resistant to DDT and now, in many crucifer producing regions, it has shown significant resistance to almost every synthetic insecticide applied in the field. In certain parts of the world, economical production of crucifers has become almost impossible due to insecticidal control failures. Consequently, increased efforts worldwide have been undertaken to develop integrated pest management (IPM) programs, principally based on manipulation of its natural enemies. Although over 130 parasitoid species are known to attack various life stages of DBM, most control worldwide is achieved by relatively few hymenopteran species belonging to the ichneumonid genera Diadegma and Diadromus , the braconid genera Microplitis and Cotesia , and the eulophid genus Oomyzus . DBM populations native to different regions have genetic and biological differences, and specific parasitoid strains may be associated with the specific DBM strains. Therefore, accurate identification based on genetic studies of both host and parasitoid is of crucial importance to attaining successful control of DBM through inoculative or inundative releases. Although parasitoids of DBM larvae and pupae are currently its principal regulators, bacteria-derived products (e.g., crystal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis ) and myco-insecticides principally based on Zoophthora radicans and Beauveria bassiana are increasingly being applied or investigated for biological control. Viruses, nematodes and microsporidia also have potential as biopesticides for DBM. When an insect pest is exposed to more than one mortality factor, there is the possibility of interactions that can enhance, limit, or limit and enhance the various aspects of effectiveness of a particular control tactic. This paper reviews the effectiveness of various parasitoids and entomopathogens against DBM, interactions among them, and their possible integration into modern IPM programs.

“…A number of studies have shown that an increase in fecundity can occur when parasitoid wasps are provided particular food (Leius, 1961;Ashley & Gonzalez, 1974;Yu et al, 1984;Leatemia et al, 1995;Aydin Özder & Kılınçer, 1996 a, b;Blanche et al, 1996;Gurr & Nicol, 2000;Johanowicz & Mitchell, 2000;Costamagna & Landis, 2004;Shearrer & Atanassov, 2004;Fuchsberg et al, 2007;Özkan, 2007;Tunçbilek et al, 2012;Lessard & Boivin, 2013;Çınar et al, 2015). Saljoqi & Khattak (2007) reported that adult Trichogramma chilonis Ishii, 1941 females provided with 50% honey and water lived significantly longer than unfed females or those provided with some other kind of food.…”

Effects of artificial diets and floral nectar on parasitization performance of Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko, 1968 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) 1 Yapay besin ve bitki nektarının Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko, 1968 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)'nin parazitleme performansına etkileri Nihal ÖZDER 2* Şeyda DEMİRTAŞ 2 SummaryThis study was conducted to determine whether various food resources enhanced the longevity and fecundity of the egg parasitoid Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko, 1968 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) under laboratory conditions (25°C, 65% RH, 16L:8D h photoperiod) at Laboratory of Biological Control, Department of Plant Protection, Agriculture Faculty, Namık Kemal University in 2014. Newly hatched female wasps were fed on Ephestia kuehniella Zeller, 1879 (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs with either honey, grape molasses and royal jelly as a main food, alone or double combination of this main foods or supplemented with resin (derived from plants), acacia nectar, Paulownia nectar, red tulip nectar, yellow asphodel nectar, apple syrup, liquid of E. kuehniella eggs or mashed E. kuehniella larvae. Trichogramma brassicae, females that were fed on honey and acacia nectar (17.47 d), honey + apple syrup (17.20 d), honey (16.93 d) and honey + Paulownia nectar (16.60 d) lived significantly longer than females that fed on other floral nectars and artificial diets. Females were fed on royal jelly + mashed E. kuehniella larvae (1.40 d) had the shortest longevity. Trichogramma brassicae females that were fed on honey (106.8 eggs), honey + acacia nectar (105.4 eggs), Paulownia nectar (103.13 eggs) parasitized significantly more hosts than females that fed on other floral nectars and artificial diets. Females fed on royal jelly were had the lowest parasitizing ability (3.33 eggs). These results showed that providing T. brassicae with honey, honey + acacia nectar, honey + apple syrup resulted in greater longevity and total fecundity than other food resources.
