However, the two-sex life table parameters of O. laevigatus on Planoccocus citri Risso , and P. solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) have not been fully characterised. This study aimed to assess the potential of P. citri and, P. solenopsis as prey for mass-rearing the predatory bug. To accomplish this, three different prey items (individuals of P. citri , P. soleneopsis , and eggs of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)) were used to determine the life table parameters of the minute pirate bug. Results Daily and total fecundity, adult longevity, APOP, TPOP, and pre-adult periods were calculated in this study. The results showed that daily fecundity was 7.4 ± 0.10, 4.41 ± 0.08, 3.47 ± 0.08, and adult longevity was 20.9 ± 0.47, 15.17 ± 0.31, 14.03 ± 0.39 on E. kuehniella , P. solenopsis and P. citri , respectively. Net reproduction rate ( R 0 ) was 57.23 ± 11.35, 17.27 ± 3.57, 11.05 ± 2.30, and the intrinsic rate of increase ( r ) was 0.172 ± 0.009, 0.084 ± 0.006, 0.069 ± 0.006 on E. kuehniella , P. soleneopsis , and P. citri , respectively. Additionally, finite rate of increase ( λ ), gross reproductive rate (GRR), and mean generation time ( T ) were calculated on the three tested prey. Conclusion Overall, the results showed that eggs of E. kuehniella were the most suitable prey for the mass-rearing of O. laevigatus . Although P. citri and P. solenopsis had worse results than E. kuehniella , P. solenopsis may still have potential, and O. laevigatus could potentially be used against this pest with further studies in laboratory and field conditions.","PeriodicalId":11514,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135436793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of three temperature regimes on the development and survival of two parasitoid species, Citrostichus phyllocnistoides (Narayanan) and Cirrospilus ingenuus Gahan (Eulophidae: Hymenoptera) of the citrus leafminer, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) was evaluated. The experiment was conducted at 20, 25, and 30°C temperatures with 65 ± 2% relative humidity (R.H.) and 16h: 8h (L: D) photoperiod. Results In C. phyllocnistoides , the pre-ovipositional period was longer at 20°C, while non- significant difference was observed in the pre-ovipositional period of C. ingenuus under the effect of different temperatures ( P > 0.05). The ovipositional period of C. phyllocnistoides and C. ingenuus was higher at 20°C and gradually decreased by increasing the temperature. Non- significant ( P > 0.05) difference was found in post-ovipositional period of both parasitoid species. Both species exhibited the maximum fecundity at 25°C, while, the minimum fecundity was recorded at 30°C. However, the adult longevity of both parasitoid species was highest at 20°C and gradually decreased by increasing the temperature. In both parasitoids, the parasitism rate was highest at 25°C. Conclusion This study highlighted the importance of thermal effects on some parasitoid species of insect pests to predict the future of trophic dynamics in global warming situations.","PeriodicalId":11514,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134912593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mohamed, A. H. El-Heneidy, Hassan F. Dahi","doi":"10.1186/s41938-023-00733-9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1186/s41938-023-00733-9","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract Background Fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is one of the new alien destructive pests of maize and other 350 economic crops. The majority of farmers are still depended upon chemical insecticides to suppress the pest, but S. frugiperda has succeeded to develop resistance against most of the chemical families. Improving an effective environmentally-friendly approach is highly recommended. Therefore, the egg parasitoids are the best weapon for managing the FAW in the early egg stage due to the feeding behavior of their larvae. In this regard, the impact of FAW egg mass layers and scale thicknesses, as physical barriers, on the parasitic performance of the egg-parasitoid species, Trichogrammatoidea bactrae Nagaraja (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), in non-choice and choice tests was assessed. Besides, the efficacy of FAW-produced adult wasps on the next generation based on the rates of parasitism, adults' emergence, and female progeny was determined. Results Obtained results exhibited that T. bactrae was able to parasitize all exposed FAW egg masses but with different rates related to the layers’ number and scales' thicknesses in both tests. One-layer (83.18, 78.24%) and two-layer egg masses (65.99, 76.42%) had significantly the highest parasitism rate, while three layers (42.15, 46.05%) was the least one, in both tests, respectively. All parasitoids emerged after 10–12 days with high rates (~ 88–98%) from all the tested egg masses, and the majority offspring were female-biased in both tests. Furthermore, parasitic performance in F 1 progeny was similar with that recorded in parental generation in terms of parasitism rate, high parasitoid emergency (~ 87–95%), and strongly female-biased (~ 68–76%) in all the exposed egg masses. Conclusions The egg parasitoid, T. bactrae, could be an efficient and recommended bio-control agent against FAW as its greatest ability to overcome the layers’ number and scales’ thickness.","PeriodicalId":11514,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135938524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
