Rearing of Mallada basalis (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) on modified artificial diets
Mallada basalis (Walker) has the potential to be a valuable biological control agent because of its predatory abilities, strong reproductive capacity, and broad prey range. This study aimed to improve on a previously used artificial diet for M. basalis, to achieve a longer oviposition period and greater survival rate and fecundity. We analyzed the development, survival, longevity, and reproduct...
متن کاملEffect of Cannibalism on the Growth and Development of Mallada Basalis (neuroptera: Chrysopidae)
The green lacewing, Mallada basalis (Walker) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), is one of the most important natural enemies used in biological control programs for forestry and agricultural pests. However, it is difficult to mass rear M. basalis instars because they are voracious cannibals. This study was conducted to determine the effect of cannibalism on the development and fecundity of M. basalis. ...
متن کاملForaging on and consumption of two species of papaya pest mites, Tetranychus kanzawai and Panonychus citri (Acari: Tetranychidae), by Mallada basalis (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae).
Tetranychus kanzawai Kishida and Panonychus citri (McGregor) are two major acarine pests of the principal papaya variety in Taiwan, and they often co-occur in the same papaya screenhouses. This study measured prey acceptability, foraging schedule, short-term consumption rate, and handling time of larvae of a domesticated line of the green lacewing, Mallada basalis (Walker), in no-choice tests w...
متن کاملDistribution and Biology of Mallada desjardinsi (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) in India and Its Predatory Potential Against Aleurodicus dispersus (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae)
In this study, we report the prevalence of Mallada desjardinsi (Navas) in seven geographical regions of India and provide the first report of its kind outlining the preying of all stages of the spiraling whitefly, Aleurodicus dispersus Russell, by M. desjardinsi Sampling was conducted in seven regions of two provinces in India, Bengaluru (Karnataka) and Tiruppur (Tamil Nadu), which demonstrated...
متن کاملRearing Lacewings, Chrysoperla carnea and Chrysopa oculata (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), on prepupae of Alfalfa Leafcutting Bee, Megachile rotundata (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae)
Lacewings are an important group of insect biological control agents. Protocols for rearing lacewings often require rearing of an additional insect species to be used as a diet, and this can be costly. Prepupae of alfalfa leafcutting bee, Megachile rotundata (F.), which are commercially available, inexpensive and can be stored, were evaluated as a larval diet of the lacewings, Chrysoperla carne...
