摘要: Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is an important natural enemy of several key arthropod pests. However, in tomato crop this predator can cause economic damage owing to its zoophytophagous behavior. We investigated laboratory conditions the influence two alternative plants, Dittrichia viscosa L. (Asteraceae) and Sesamum indicum (L.) (Pedaliaceae), with or without prey, on N. biological control services Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) eggs. Both D. S. indicum, as companion plants dual-choice bioassays, significantly reduced mirid tomato. was more attractive than for feeding oviposition presence did not interfere predation T. also studied potential three preyless rearing substrate mirid, only showed be a suitable host plant development oviposition. The applications field management mass are discussed.
