Response of Aphidius colemani to aphid sex pheromone varies depending on plant synergy and prior experience.
A critical stage in the success of a parasitoid is the ability to locate a host within its habitat. It is hypothesized that a series of olfactory cues may be involved in altering the parasitoid's movement patterns at this stage of foraging. This paper focuses specifically on host habitat location and host location and the olfactory stimuli necessary to mediate the transition between these stage...
متن کاملGreenhouse 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 کاملFitness Effects of Food Resources on the Polyphagous Aphid Parasitoid, Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae)
Conservation biological control involving the polyphagous aphid parasitoid, Aphidius colemani Viereck, may include provisioning resources from a variety of plant sources. The fitness of adult A. colemani was enhanced with the provision of food resources such as floral nectar from a range of both native and introduced plant species and aphid honeydew under laboratory conditions. However, enhance...
متن کاملEffects of fine-grain habitat complexity on egg parasitism by three species of Trichogramma
Effects of microhabitat complexity on host foraging by three species of Trichogramma (T. deion, T. ostriniae, and T. pretiosum) were evaluated under simulated stored product conditions. All three species have been considered as potential biological control agents for the Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella, in retail stores and warehouses. Trials were conducted with single naı̈ve female paras...
متن کاملEcological Interactions Affecting the Efficacy of Aphidius colemani in Greenhouse Crops
Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a solitary endoparasitoid used for biological control of many economically important pest aphids. Given its widespread use, a vast array of literature on this natural enemy exists. Though often highly effective for aphid suppression, the literature reveals that A. colemani efficacy within greenhouse production systems can be reduced by many...
