Spread and global population structure of the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) and its larval parasitoids Diadegma semiclausum and Diadegma fenestrale (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) based on mtDNA.
The diamondback moth (DBM) (Plutella xylostella) is one of the main pests of brassicaceous crops worldwide and shows resistance against a wide range of synthetic insecticides incurring millions of dollars in control costs every year. The DBM is a prime example of the introduction of an exotic species as a consequence of globalization. In this study we analyzed the genetic population structure o...
متن کاملComparison of Diadegma insulare (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) and Microplitis plutellae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) as biological control agents of Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae): field parasitism, insecticide susceptibility, and host-searching.
Parasitism of Plutella xylostella (L.) third and fourth instars was evaluated in a cabbage field in Geneva, NY, in 1999. Over the entire season, average parasitism was 33.6% for third instars and 53.6% for fourth instars, and the main parasitoids were Diadegma insulare (Cresson) and Microplitis plutellae Muesbeck. In the early season, total parasitism was low, and mainly caused by D. insulare. ...

متن کاملThe Impact of Parasitoids on Plutella Xylostella Populations in South Africa and the Successful Biological Control of the Pest on the Island of St. Helena
Diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), is the most injurious insect pest of brassica crops throughout the world. In many countries it has developed resistance to almost every synthetic insecticide used against it including Bt formulations. In addition to resistance, the destruction of its natural enemies through indiscriminate use of broadspectrum insecticides is...

Laboratory tests with Diadegma insulare (Cresson), a parasitoid of the diamondback moth ( Plutella xylostella (L.)), were conducted to evaluate the viability of cocoons stored at 4 ° C for varying lengths of time and also the effects of parasitism by D. insulare on the feeding rate of diamondback moth larvae. The percentage of adults emerging from cocoons declined steadily with time spent in st...
