Yet, how bottom-up effects of drought alter tritrophic interactions remains poorly understood. This study investigated two intensities of drought stress in the tritrophic system consisting of sugar beet (<i>Beta vulgaris</i>), an aphid (<i>Aphis fabae</i>), and its parasitoid (<i>Aphidius colemani</i>). We thoroughly investigated each trophic level, examining the performance of plants, pest insects, and parasitoids, as well as the attraction of parasitoids to herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs). Drought stress negatively affected plant growth but benefited <i>A. fabae,</i> leading to faster development and a higher reproduction rate. Drought-stressed plants also emitted less plant volatiles, which resulted in reduced attraction of <i>A. colemani</i> to aphid-infested plants. Drought indirectly affected parasitoid performance, as evidenced by lower emergence rates and production of fewer females, although mummification rates were higher on drought-stressed plants. Reduced parasitoid attraction and performance on drought-stressed plants may exert lower top-down pressure on aphid populations. Combined with increased aphid performance, this may facilitate aphid outbreaks, which could further weaken drought-stressed plants. Our findings highlight the need to study multiple trophic levels and emphasize the importance of incorporating HIPVs and parasitoid attraction when assessing combined abiotic and biotic stresses in crops.</p>","PeriodicalId":16736,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pest Science","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141425420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When a protein immunomark-capture experiment was conducted to examine the extent of movement between the alfalfa strips and adjacent strawberry plots, it was determined that approximately three times as many <i>L. lineolaris</i> migrated from strawberry to alfalfa than vice versa. Moreover, adult females were overrepresented among immigrants to alfalfa, suggesting that alfalfa may be a preferred oviposition site for <i>L. lineolaris</i>. While the presence of alfalfa perimeter strips increased beneficial arthropod abundance and diversity in experimental plots overall, these increases were limited to the alfalfa itself, with little spillover into adjacent strawberry plots.

Using the age-stage two-sex life table theory, we evaluated the impact of imidacloprid on the life table of the <i>O. similis</i> population. The results showed that the LC<sub>10</sub> and LC<sub>20</sub> values for each developmental stage of <i>O. similis</i> were lower under contact treatment than those under stomach toxicity treatment. After treatment with imidacloprid, the average oviposition by <i>O. similis</i> decreased compared to the control, and the net reproductive rate, gross reproduction rate, intrinsic rate of increase, and finite rate of increase were also lower than the control. The results also indicated that the peak value of age-stage-specific fecundity of <i>O. similis</i> was delayed by 1–2 days after imidacloprid treatment. Predictions for population growth of <i>O. similis</i> under unrestricted conditions showed that at 60 days, the population size of the control treatment was 2.06 times and 3.20 times that of LC<sub>10</sub> contact and stomach toxicity treatment, respectively.
