Lethal and behavioral effects of pesticides on the insect predator Macrolophus pygmaeus.
Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a common generalist predator in Mediterranean agro-ecosystems. We evaluated the lethal effects of six insecticides and a fungicide on M. pygmaeus nymphs exposed to the pesticides through three routes of exposure: direct, residual and oral. Chlorantraniliprole and emamectin-benzoate caused less than 25% mortality to M. pygmaeus and were classified as ...
متن کاملEffect of hunger level on prey consumption and functional response of the predator Macrolophus pygmaeus
A study was conducted to examine the influence of the hunger level on the prey consumption of Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur (Hemiptera Miridae) at varying densities of Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera Aphididae) through laboratory functional response experiments. Newly emerged adult females of the predator were subjected to 24 or 48 h of prey deprivation on pepper plant, as well as to 48 h only o...
متن کاملLife-History Traits of Macrolophus pygmaeus with Different Prey Foods
Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a generalist predatory mirid widely used in augmentative biological control of various insect pests in greenhouse tomato production in Europe, including the invasive tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae). However, its biocontrol efficacy often relies on the presence of alternative prey. The present study aimed at...
متن کاملDynamics of Food Chain Model: Role of Alternative Resource for Top Predator
In this paper, effect of alternative resource for top predator in food chain model with holling type III functional response is seen . Proposed model is demonstrated in respect of analytical as well numerical results. Bifurcation study with the variation of alternative resource and half saturation constants are done numerically. Simulation results shows that suitable alternati...
متن کامل91-95 Maselou
Omnivorous Heteroptera constitute an important component of predatory guilds with high potential for biological control. Understanding the relative effects of plant feeding on the suppression of prey by omnivores could be an important element for improving biological control strategies. In the current paper, the effects of different plant food sources on the predation rate of the omnivorous pre...
