Population Suppression

Intercropping of aromatic plants provides an environmentally benign route to reducing pest damage in agroecosystems. However, the effect of intercropping on natural enemies, another element which may be vital to the success of an integrated pest management approach, varies in different intercropping systems. Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis L. (Lamiaceae), has been reported to be repellent to many insect species. In this study, the impact of sweet pepper/rosemary intercropping on pest population suppression was evaluated under greenhouse conditions and the effect of rosemary intercropping on natural enemy population dynamics was investigated. The results showed that intercropping rosemary with sweet pepper significantly reduced the population densities of three major pest species on sweet pepper, Frankliniella intonsa, Myzus persicae, and Bemisia tabaci, but did not affect the population densities of their natural enemies, the predatory bug, Orius sauteri, or parasitoid, Encarsia formosa. Significant pest population suppression with no adverse effect on released natural enemy populations in the sweet pepper/rosemary intercropping system suggests this could be an approach for integrated pest management of greenhouse-cultivated sweet pepper. Our results highlight the potential of the integration of alternative pest control strategies to optimize sustainable pest control.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of integrated pest management (IPM) in the productivity of the tomato and in the populations of leafminers, fruit borers, and natural enemies in tomato crops. The treatments were calendar (spraying twice weekly with insecticides and fungicides), IPM (spraying when action thresholds were achieved), and control (no pesticide was applied). IPM was the most efficient system of pest control due to presenting similar productivity and 65.6% less pesticide applications than in the calendar. The attack of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) and Liriomyza spp. (Diptera: Agromyzidae) to the leaves only achieved the action threshold in the final phase of the cultivation. The main fruit borer was Neoleucinoides elegantalis (Guen.) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), followed by T. absoluta and Spodoptera eridania (Cr.) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). The natural enemy populations were severely reduced by excessive pesticide applications. Predators were more abundant than parasitoids. The most abundant predators were Araneidae, Anthicus sp. (Coleoptera: Anthicidae), Cycloneda sanguinea larva (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), Staphylinidae adults (Coleoptera), Orius sp. and Xylocoris sp. (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), Formicidae (Hymenoptera), and Phlaeothripidae (Thysanoptera). The most abundant parasitoids were Hymenoptera of the families Eulophidae, Braconidae (Bracon sp. and Chelonus sp.), Trichogrammatidae [Trichogramma pretiosum (Riley)] and Bethylidae (Goniozus nigrifemur Ashmead), besides Tachinidae (Diptera).

<p>En el presente estudio se colectaron cuatro parasitoides de <em>Dasiops inedulis </em>Steyskal (Diptera: Lonchaeidae), i.e., uno de tipo larva-pupa identificado como <em>Utetes anastrephae </em>(Viereck) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), y tres parasitoides de pupas identificados como <em>Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae </em>Rondani, <em>Spalangia </em>sp. (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) y <em>Aganaspis </em>sp. (Hymenoptera: Figitidae). En el campo se observaron daños ocasionados por una larva de Chrysopidae (Neuroptera) sobre pupas centinelas de<em>D. inedulis</em>. Se realizaron experimentos con un cebo tóxico de origen natural a base de <em>Saccharopolyspora spinosa </em>en los municipios de Palmira y Toro, en el departamento del Valle del Cauca, destacándose como una nueva alternativa para el control de <em>D. inedulis </em>en maracuyá amarillo, ya que en las dos localidades mantuvo los niveles de daño por debajo del manejo convencional del agricultor y el testigo absoluto. Se provee una lista de enemigos naturales de <em>D. inedulis </em>tomada mediante muestreos de botones florales de maracuyá, uso de pupas centinelas, e información en la literatura científica. Para el control de la mosca del botón floral del maracuyá, <em>D. inedulis</em>, se propone una estrategia de manejo integrado de plagas que le permitirán al productor mantener las poblaciones de <em>D. inedulis </em>reguladas con diferentes herramientas, i.e., enemigos naturales que se pueden incorporar en diferentes etapas de la fenología de <em>D. inedulis</em>, uso de cebos tóxicos de baja toxicidad, recolección de botones con síntomas de daño, y monitoreo con el uso de trampas McPhail cebadas con proteína hidrolizada, interviniendo en diferentes estados de desarrollo, cortando ciclos y disminuyendo así futuras generaciones del insecto. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Integrated pest management as a strategy to control the passionfruit flower-bud fly, <em>Dasiops inedulis</em>Steyskal (Diptera: Lonchaeidae)</strong></p><span> Four parasitoids of the passion fruit flower bud fly, </span><em>Dasiops inedulis </em><span>Steyskal (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) were collected in the present study, i.e., a larva-pupa type parasitoid, </span><em>Utetes anastrephae </em><span>(Viereck) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), and three pupal parasitoids, namely </span><em>Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae</em><span>Rondani, </span><em>Spalangia </em><span>sp. (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) and</span><em>Aganaspis </em><span>sp. (Hymenoptera: Figitidae). In the field we observed a species of Chrysopidae (Neuroptera) larva feeding on the sentinel pupae of </span><em>D. inedulis</em><span>.

This toxic bait maintained the injury levels below the conventional management used by the farmers and the control plots in both study areas. A list of natural enemies of </span><em>D. inedulis </em><span>was compiled by inspecting passion fruit flower buds, using sentinel pupae, and information taken from the literature. For the control of </span><em>D. inedulis</em><span>, an integrated pest management strategy is proposed that will allow the farmer to maintain </span><em>D. inedulis </em><span>populations under control with different management tools, i.e., natural enemies which can be incorporated at different stages of development of </span><em>D. inedulis</em><span>, low toxicity baits, recollection of flower buds with symptoms of damage, monitoring with McPhail traps baited with protein hydrolysate, thus intervening at different stages the development of the lonchaeid fly pest, breaking its life cycle and thus decreasing their populations in future generations.</span>
