Comparison of the suitability of three pest leafminers (Diptera: Agromyzidae) as hosts for the parasitoid Dacnusa sibirica (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

摘要: The suitability of Liriomyza sativae Blanchard, L. trifolii (Burgess) and bryoniae (Kaltenbach) as hosts the solitary larval-pupal parasitoid Dacnusa sibirica Telenga was studied. This is used a biological control agent against bryoniae. laid eggs in sativae, but no adult parasitoids emerged from puparia. In contrast, D. adults puparia bryoniae, there significant difference emergence rate, female developmental time, or sex ratio when parasitizing these two host species. that were significantly larger than those conclusion, sibirica, useful cannot sativae.
