<b>Functional and numerical responses and reproduction of <i>Campoletis flavicincta</i> parasitizing <i>Spodoptera frugiperda</i> caterpillars</b> - doi: 10.4025/actasciagron.v35i4.15871

Abstract: ABSTRACT. The functional and numerical responses, reproductive characteristics, and viability of Campoletis flavicincta (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) as well as the mortality after parasitism of the host Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) were analyzed in the laboratory. Campoletis flavicincta pairs were maintained until female death with 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50 caterpillars day . The functional response for each of the first five days of the host was a type III. The longevity at the five host densiti… Show more

“…species is a larval endoparasitoid that plays an important role in regulating S. frugiperda (Molina-Ochoa et al, 2003;Dequech et al, 2005;Ordóñez-García et al, 2015). The FAW is a natural host of the parasitoid C. flavicincta (Neto et al, 2004;Zanuncio et al, 2013). The larvae of the parasitoid, just out of the larvae of S. frugiperda pest starts making his cocoon (9.5mm long) which allows it to continue his development until the emergence (Figure 4b-4c).…”

“…In addition to egg parasitoids, the egg-larval and larval parasitoids, Chelonus insularis (Cres-son) and Cotesia marginiventris (Cresson) (both Hymenoptera: Braconidae), and Eiphosoma laphygmae Costa Lima (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), respectively, emerged among the most prevalent natural enemies, and have also proven to be efficient against FAW [15][16][17]. Beside a pest risk clearance, the selection of a candidate parasitoid species for a biological control program is based on its reproductive performance, functional and numerical response profile, high behavioral host selection, resilience at low host population densities and dispersal capabilities [18][19][20][21]. However, for a candidate parasitoid to be successful in a given ecology, environmental and climatic variables coupled to landscape management features, suitability and prevalence of the host insect and its host plants, are key determinants [22,23].…”

“…Corn (Zea mays L., Poaceae) is the most important cereal originating in the Americas and planted on large scale worldwide. Caterpillars and weeds are the main pests of the corn crop in Brazil (Zanuncio et al 2013;Menezes et al 2014). The caterpillars are controlled using insecticides, however, these products can cause environmental contamination and alternative methods are necessary to manage these insect pests (Tavares 2010).…”
