متن کاملMorphological variation of Aphidius ervi Haliday (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) associated with different aphid hosts
BACKGROUND Parasitoids are frequently used in biological control due to the fact that they are considered host specific and highly efficient at attacking their hosts. As they spend a significant part of their life cycle within their hosts, feeding habits and life history of their host can promote specialization via host-race formation (sequential radiation). The specialized host races from diff...
متن کاملThe functional response of Aphidius ervi (Haliday)(Hym.: Braconidae, Aphidiinae) to different densities of Sitobion avenae (Fabricius)(Hom.: Aphididae) on two wheat cultivars
The functional response of Aphidius ervi to different Sitobion avenae densities on two wheat cultivars (Sardary and Alvand) was examined in laboratory conditions. Experiments were carried out in test tubes on an F2 lab generation without wheat clusters and also on F2 and F5 generations in pots using wheat clusters. In the tubes, female wasps were exposed to aphid densities of 2, 4, 7, 14, 28, 3...
متن کاملOlfactory conditioning in mate searching by the parasitoid Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Braconidae).
Despite the fact that insect learning capacity has been broadly demonstrated, the role that this process plays during mate searching has been scarcely explored. We studied whether the sexual behaviour of a male parasitic wasp can be conditioned to the odours from two alternative host plant complexes (HPCs) present during its first copulation. The experimental subjects were newly emerged males o...
متن کاملEfficacy assessment of Aphidius colemani (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) for suppression of Aphis gossypii (Homoptera: Aphididae) in greenhouse-grown chrysanthemum.
To assess biological control as a management tool for the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera: Aphididae), the efficacy of Aphidius colemani Viereck (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) for suppression of A. gossypii in greenhouse-grown chrysanthemums, Dendranthema grandiflora (Tzvelev), was compared with a pesticide standard, imidacloprid (Marathon 1% G) and an untreated check. No significant ...
