“…We purchased powdered Chlorella vulgaris Beijerink microalgae from ZNatural Foods, LLC (West Palm Beach, FL, USA). It is an emerald green, single‐celled freshwater microalgae recognized for its high protein content and as a nutritional supplement in the diet of humans, livestock, fish, and invertebrates (Lee et al ., ; Maruyama et al ., ; Zaki & Gesraha, ; Becker, ). We combined nine parts of synthetic pollen to one part of C. vulgaris powder to formulate our synthetic pollen‐ Chlorella alga mixture, SPCA.…”

The lady beetle Coleomegilla maculata De Geer is an omnivorous predator that could help suppress aphid and spider mite populations on plants in greenhouses, plantscapes or interiorscapes. We are assessing the nutritional requirements and feeding behavior of C. maculata on target prey (spider mites) and factitious (unnatural) food. Our ultimate goal is to develop an efficacious diet to mass produce C. maculata. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that Tetranychus urticae Koch (two-spotted spider mite) is not suitable prey for development and reproduction of naïve C. maculata (i.e., with no prior exposure to T. urticae). Our objectives were to (i) provide baseline data on the effects of consuming T. urticae on C. maculata life history, (ii) to compare the effects of consuming all stages of T. urticae versus eggs of Musca domestica L. (common housefly), and (iii) to determine if the consumption of plant products was beneficial. We used C. maculata from a colony reared only on Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Mediterranean flour moth) eggs. In experiments, C. maculata larvae were reared from the first instar to adult stage with prey/food in replicated arenas; adult females were paired with a single male with prey/food. The results showed that naïve C. maculata readily attacked and consumed T. urticae. Nevertheless, T. urticae was less suitable than M. domestica eggs for C. maculata development and reproduction. Applying a synthetic pollen-Chlorella alga powder (SPCA) in arenas containing T. urticae appeared to boost C. maculata female development and reproduction.

“…It has been recorded as an effective generalist predator of aphids, coccids, mites, and mealybugs, etc. (Singh and Manoj, 2000;Zaki and Gesraha, 2001). It has been widely used for aphid bio-control and other insect pests because of its ubiquitous nature, polyphagous habits, and compatibility with selected chemical insecticides, microbial agents, and amenability to mass rearing (Uddin et al, 2005).…”

Biological characteristics of the predator Chrysoperla carnea, aphid lion were studied in the laboratory at a temperature of. 25±1°C, 70±5% relative humidity, and 16:8 h of daily light / dark periods. two different preys were tested as hosts for C. carnea larvae. The predator larvae were fed on newly emerged larvae of pink bollworm, Pectinophera gossypiella, and adult members of Aphis craccivora, Cowpea aphid (2-3 days old), The results showed that the duration of larval and pupal period of predator was observed differences which recorded 8.46± 0.82 and 6.92± 0.86 days, respectively, when the predator larvae fed on PBW larvae, while recorded 8.25± 0.96 and 6± 0.15 days, respectively, when the predator larvae fed on adult aphids. The larval survival percentage was 88.1% and 90.2% respectively, while the emergence of the adult was 87.4% and 94.7% respectively, Data showed the incubation period of eggs was similar in two treatments, the duration of C. carnea females had higher than the duration of males. The percent of egg hatchability recorded a higher value 95.87% when the predator larvae fed on adult aphids and recorded 91.51% when its fed on PBW larvae.

The present experiments was carried out in both experimental farm and laboratory of Plant Protection Research Institute, Sakha, Kafr El-Sheikh governorate for study the impact of Myzus persicae(Sulzer) which educated on different host plants on biological attributes of Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) influence of the green peach aphid, M. persicae as a prey. There was no significant different in the incubation periods for C.carnea when the predator fed on M. persicae preys reared on different host plants (faba bean, kidney bean and cowpea).The shortest developmental time of the three larval instars for C.carnea recorded on M. persicae which reared on faba bean were 3.3, 4.6 and 4.9 days, respectively. Meanwhile, the longest developmental time of the three larval instars for C.carnea recorded on M. persicae which reared on Cowpea were 4.0, 5.4 and 5.7days, respectively. The total developmental time of immature stages was 23.1, 25.4and 26.3 days on the three tested host plants with significant differences. Male Longevity was 26.09, 21. 63 and 20.18 days with significant differences among C.carnea which fed on M. persicae was reared on the three leguminous plants. Fecundity of females was 109.20, 97.42 and 94.42 eggs/ female with significant differences among C.carnea which fed on M .persicae was reared on the three leguminous plants.
