Functional response of Telenomus remus Nixon(Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) to Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae) eggs: effect of female age

Abstract: 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250 or 300 eggs of S. frugiperda for 24 h. Complete randomized design with ten replications was adopted. The parameters evaluated to construct the functional response curve were daily average parasitism, searching rate and oviposition time. It was observed that the higher the egg density, the higher the parasitism for 24-h and 48-h-old females although there was a tendency of parasitism stabilization at 150-egg density. The results showed a type II functional response curve for both… Show more

“…The number of parasitized eggs is 34.7 and 40.4 for S. frugiperda and S. litura respectively. This is in line with the research of (Carneiro, Fernandes, Cruz, & Bueno, 2010) who tested the functional response of S. frugiperda with different exposure times that on the number of host eggs by 50 eggs, the number of parasitized eggs was 20-30 eggs. In general, T. remus has a type II functional response in which the more the number of hosts is given, the number of parasitized hosts is increasing.…”

“…The functional response of P. nigrispinus has been assessed in various cotton agroecosystems (Malaquias et al., ). Factors such as temperature (Malaquias et al., ), plant species (De Clercq et al., ), and plant physiology (Carneiro et al., ) influence the natural enemy's predation behavior. In addition, the developmental stages of both the predator (Hassanpour et al., ; Madadi et al., ) and the prey (Farhadi et al., ) are known to affect the attack efficiency of this biological control agent.…”

“…In the fourth type, the response curve is dome-shaped. Studies on the interaction of a natural enemy and its host, as the functional response, for instance, can be helpful in integrated pest management programs, once this helps determine the predation/parasitism dynamics of a natural enemy (Carneiro et al 2010). On the other hand, the success of the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs simultaneous use of biological control agents and chemical compounds are recommended (Hull and Beers 1985).…”
