“…In Brazil, H. armigera is on the list of quarantine pests prepared by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply (MAPA-Agrofit 2015); however, there have been reports of this pest from the states of Goiás, Mato Grosso, and Bahia in soybean, cotton, and volunteer soybean, respectively (Czepak et al 2013). Additionally, this pest has been reported from the following states and crops: Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Bahia, Pará, Paraná, São Paulo, and Piauí in soybean, corn, cotton, tomato, and citrus (Gabriel 2013;Bueno et al 2014;Pratissoli et al 2015). Currently, several chemical and biological insecticides have been registered for the control of H. armigera (Agrofit 2017), and damage caused to farmers has been estimated at US$ 2.8 billion (Gottems 2014).…”

The aim of this study was to assess the biological aspects and food preferences of Helicoverpa armigera fed different sunflower genotypes and an artificial diet. Tests were performed under multiple-choice and no-choice conditions to evaluate the biological characteristics of H. armigera. In addition, the biological data obtained were used to determine parameters of fertility life tables. The results showed that H. armigera does not have a feeding preference among the sunflower genotypes tested. The larval period on sunflower ranged from 15.0 to 16.2 days. The maximum fecundity on sunflower was 542.6 eggs/female and that on the artificial diet was 794.5 eggs/female. In general, insects feeding on Helio 250 consumed greater quantities of leaves, had higher survival until the end of the pupal stage, displayed high population growth rates, and had low population doubling times, suggesting that in the field populations will achieve greater population densities when fed on Helio 250. Insects that fed on CF101 consumed smaller leaf areas, had lower survival until the end of the pupal stage, lower fertility rates, and lower population growth rates, and may also have displayed lower population densities and smaller reductions in field productivity. This insect developed best on an artificial diet in comparison to sunflower genotypes studied.

“…Helicoverpa armigera is currently the predominant species in the Old World region, whereas H. zea is the predominant pest species in New World region (Behere et al 2007). However, this scenario has been changing abruptly after the incursion of H. armigera lineages into Brazil and other South American countries, which has been associated with severe damages in field crops such as cotton, sorghum, maize, soybean, beans, and citrus (Czepak et al 2013;Specht et al 2013;Tay et al 2013;Bueno et al 2014;Leite et al 2014;Mastrangelo et al 2014;Murúa et al 2014;Arneodo et al 2015). Due to recent invasion, at least from 2008 (Sosa-Gómez et al 2016), studies on the relative incidence of H. armigera in major crops have been done (e.g., Leite et al 2014;Jones et al 2019;Dourado et al 2020); however, host range of H. armigera populations needs more intensive investigations in the Neotropics.…”

Helicoverpa armigera Harm 1 Haplotype Predominates in the Heliothinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Complex Infesting Tomato Crops in Brazil

et al. 2021

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is a natural host for the Helicoverpa-Chloridea (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Heliothinae) pest complex. The species Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) was responsible for significant yield losses in several crops after its detection in Brazil. The morphology of its larval stage resembles common Heliothinae species, making pest control decisions difficult. The overall lack of studies on the Heliothinae associated with tomatoes in Brazil and the establishment of H. armigera in the country plus their recent outbreaks supported our investigation about the relative importance of the insects from the Helicoverpa-Chloridea complex in this vegetable crop. A nationwide survey was carried out across fresh-market and processing tomato fields. Molecular analyses targeting a segment of the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtCOI) gene and their sequence analyses indicated the presence of a pest complex, comprising the introduced species H. armigera and the indigenous species, Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), and Chloridea virescens (Fabricius). The Harm 1 haplotype of H. armigera was identified as the predominant Heliothinae pest infesting fresh-market tomatoes. The New World species Chloridea subflexa (Guenée) as well as the exotic Solanaceae-specific species Helicoverpa assulta (Guenée) were not found in our survey. Additional larvae surveys in processing tomato fields during 2013/2014 in Central Brazil also indicated H. armigera as the most abundant Heliothinae species (95%) together with H. zea (4.75%) and C. virescens (0.25%). The occurrence of distinct Helicoverpa species (which are potentially capable of interbreeding) indicates that novel crop management strategies will be necessary in order to minimize damages caused by this pest complex in tomatoes.

ABSTRACT. This study evaluated the parasitism of Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) on eggs of Helicoverpa armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) at different ages and densities. The rates of parasitism and emergence, the number of parasitoids emerged per egg and sex ratio of offspring were evaluated in both experiments. Eggs of H. armigera up to 36 hours provided greater parasitism and emergence of adults compared to eggs up to 60 hours old. The number of parasitoids, which emerged per host egg, was greater than one and the sex ratio remained around 80% of females, regardless of the egg development stage. Females of T. pretiosum responded with superior rates of parasitism, emergence and number of parasitoids per egg at the densities of 20 and 25 eggs of H. armigera. These results indicate that T. pretiosum parasite with superior performance in eggs of up to 36h of age and densities of 20 eggs per female day -1 in laboratory conditions. These results will help to establish the intervals between releases of parasitoids, aiming to control this pest, when adjusted with knowledge of the survival of the parasitoids in the field and in pest infestation.Keywords: biological control, exotic pest, egg parasitoid, host-parasitoid interaction, noctuidae.Influência da idade e densidade de ovos de Helicoverpa armigera no parasitismo de Trichogramma pretiosum RESUMO. Este trabalho avaliou o parasitismo de Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) em ovos de Helicoverpa armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) em diferentes idades e densidades. As taxas de parasitismo e emergência, número de parasitoides emergidos por ovo e razão sexual dos descendentes foram avaliados em ambos os experimentos. Ovos de H. armigera de até 36 horas proporcionaram maior parasitismo e emergência dos adultos em comparação com ovos com até 60 horas de idade. O número de parasitoides, que emergiram por ovo hospedeiro, foi superior a 1 e a razão sexual permaneceu em torno de 80% de fêmeas, independentemente do estágio de desenvolvimento do ovo. Fêmeas de T. pretiosum responderam com taxas superiores de parasitismo, emergência e número de parasitoides por ovo nas densidades de 20 e 25 ovos de H. armigera. Estes resultados indicam que T. pretiosum parasita com desempenho superior em ovos de até 36h de idade e densidades de 20 ovos por fêmea dia -1 em condições laboratoriais. Estes resultados ajudarão a estabelecer os intervalos entre as liberações de parasitoides, visando o controle desta praga, quando ajustado com o conhecimento da sobrevivência dos parasitoides no campo e na infestação de pragas.Palavras-chave: controle biológico, praga exótica, parasitoide de ovo, interação hospedeiro-parasitoide, noctuidae.
