Continuous rearing of the predatory anthocorid Orius laevigatus without plant materials

Abstract: The omnivorous anthocorid predator Orius laevigatus is an economically important biological control agent of several small arthropod pests including the western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Mass rearing systems for Orius bugs typically make use of plant materials such as bean pods as an oviposition substrate and moisture source. Omission of plant materials from the mass rearing system of these beneficial arthropods could drastically improve the cost‐effectiveness of their production and thus stimu… Show more

“…The percentage of T. peregrinus nymphs on eucalyptus leaves and paper towel was similar showing that the substrate did not influence this biological parameter and eggs offered to C. noackae had good quality. Suitable oviposition substrates are also important to produce predatory bugs in the laboratory (Lundgren 2011) and were studied for Macrolophus caliginosus Wagner (Heteroptera: Miridae) (Constant et al 1996;Castañé and Zapata 2005), Orius laevigatus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) (Bonte and De Clercq 2010;De Puysseleyr et al 2014) and Nesidiocoris tenuis (Heteroptera: Miridae) (De Puysseleyr et al 2013). The paper towel did not reduce C. noackae parasitism and can be used as a substrate to obtain T. peregrinus eggs, facilitating mass rearing of this parasitoid for field release.…”

“…The elimination of plant materials may help rationalize the production of Orius spp. However, some studies focused on substituting less common hosts with more common plants such as green beans, kidney beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), and peppers (Capsicum annuum L.) [29,30]. Castañe and Zalom [31] used gelatin coated with parafilm as an oviposition substrate for O. insidiosus.…”

“…Castañe and Zalom [31] used gelatin coated with parafilm as an oviposition substrate for O. insidiosus. De Puysseleyr et al [30,32] employed a parafilm dome (1.5 cm diameter, 1 cm high) utilizing a diet encapsulation device as an oviposition substrate for Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Heteroptera: Miridae) and O. laevigatus. The parafilm layer must be cut as soon as the eggs hatch to allow the nymphs to escape.…”
