Greenhouse Trials of Aphidius Colemani (hymenoptera: Braconidae) Banker Plants for Control of Aphids (hemiptera: Aphididae) in Greenhouse Spring Floral Crops
Banker plants with Aphidius colemani Viereck were tested in greenhouses in Massachusetts and New York for control of cotton aphid Aphis gossypii Glover, and green peach aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) on 2 spring flower crops, pansies ( Viola tricolor hortensis ) and Marguerite daisies ( Argyranthemum hybrid). Banker plants consisted of pots of barley plants infested with the bird cherry-oat aphi...
متن کاملIdentification of Conditions for Successful Aphid Control by Ladybirds in Greenhouses
As part of my research on the mass production and augmentative release of ladybirds, I reviewed the primary research literature to test the prediction that ladybirds are effective aphid predators in greenhouses. Aphid population reduction exceeded 50% in most studies and ladybird release rates usually did not correlate with aphid reduction. The ratio of aphid reduction/release rate was slightly...
متن کاملIntensive Biological Control in Spanish Greenhouses: Problems of the Success
Currently, biological control programs in greenhouse crops involve the use, at the same time, several natural enemies during the crop cycle. Also, large number of plant species grown in greenhouses, among them, the used cultivars are also wide. However, the cultivar effects on entomophagous species efficacy (predators and parasitoids) have been scarcely studied. A new method had been developed,...
متن کاملCorrigendum: Innate positive chemotaxis to pollen from crops and banker plants in predaceous biological control agents: towards new field lures?
Predator-prey interactions form the core of biological control of arthropod pests. Which tools can be used to monitor and collect carnivorous arthropods in natural habitats and targeted crops? Eco-friendly and effective field lures are urgently needed. In this research, we carried out olfactometer experiments assess innate positive chemotaxis to pollen of seven crop and banker plant by two impo...
متن کاملAugmentative Biological Control in Greenhouses: Experiences from China
To enhance biological control of insect pests in greenhouses, facilities and procedures for mass production of the parasitoids, Eretmocerus sp., Encarsia formosa, and Trichogramma brassicae, and the predator, Aphidoletes aphidimyza were successfully developed in Hengshui, Hebei province, China. Mass production of the aphelinid wasps was achieved by using different plant varieties and host insec...
