“…Recently, Enterobacter spp. and yeast symbionts associated with green lacewing adults and larvae could be identified (Woolfolk and Inglis, 2004 ; Hemalatha et al, 2014 ). Therefore, studying the possible implication of the microflora of C. carnea larvae on crops may offer novel insights into the interaction between this predator species and plant metabolism.…”

The spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch and the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) both infest a number of economically significant crops, including tomato (Solanum lycopersicum). Although used for decades to control pests, the impact of green lacewing larvae Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) on plant biochemistry was not investigated. Here, we used profiling methods and targeted analyses to explore the impact of the predator and herbivore(s)-predator interactions on tomato biochemistry. Each pest and pest-predator combination induced a characteristic metabolite signature in the leaf and the fruit thus, the plant exhibited a systemic response. The treatments had a stronger impact on non-volatile metabolites including abscisic acid and amino acids in the leaves in comparison with the fruits. In contrast, the various biotic factors had a greater impact on the carotenoids in the fruits. We identified volatiles such as myrcene and α-terpinene which were induced by pest-predator interactions but not by single species, and we demonstrated the involvement of the phytohormone abscisic acid in tritrophic interactions for the first time. More importantly, C. carnea larvae alone impacted the plant metabolome, but the predator did not appear to elicit particular defense pathways on its own. Since the presence of both C. carnea larvae and pest individuals elicited volatiles which were shown to contribute to plant defense, C. carnea larvae could therefore contribute to the reduction of pest infestation, not only by its preying activity, but also by priming responses to generalist herbivores such as T. urticae and M. persicae. On the other hand, the use of C. carnea larvae alone did not impact carotenoids thus, was not prejudicial to the fruit quality. The present piece of research highlights the specific impact of predator and tritrophic interactions with green lacewing larvae, spider mites, and aphids on different components of the tomato primary and secondary metabolism for the first time, and provides cues for further in-depth studies aiming to integrate entomological approaches and plant biochemistry.

“…Rodolia cardinalis Mulsant (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) released to control, I. purchase, by (Causton et al 2006;Causton 2009 andCalderon Alvarez et al 2012). C. carnea predator had ability to control insects like coccidis, mealybug, psyllid, thirps, whiteflies and aphids on various crops (Hemalatha et al, 2014). Therefore, the aims of the current study were to evaluate the release of second instar larvae of C. carnea and C. undecimpinctata against I. purchasi under field condition.…”

Release of the second larval instar Coccinella undecimpunctata L. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) predators as biological control agent against the population of Icerya purchasi Maskell (Hemiptera: Monophlebidae) under field conditions on Ficus trees at Orman garden at Giza governorate. The obtained result showed that, the average of reduction percentage of nymphs of I. purchasi were (69.7%, 77.9% and 81.7%) with the rate 30, 40 and 50 larval /tree of C. undecimpunctata, respectively. While reduction percentage of adults of I. purchasi were (65.2%, 72.1% and 77.1%) with the same rate of release. The obtained average of reduction percentage of nymphs of I. purchasi were (58.6%, 65.5% and 70.5%) with the rate 30, 40 and 50 larval /tree of C. carnea, respectively. Also, average of reduction percentage of adults of I. purchasi were (36.6%, 43.7% and 52.6%) with the rate 30, 40 and 50 larval /tree, of C. carnea respectively.The regression equation indicated that there was a highly positive relationship between the rate of release of C. undecimpunctata & C. carnea and reduction percentages for nymphs and adults stage of I. purchasi. The statistical analysis assured that there was a significant increase in the reduction percentage of nymphs and adults of I. purchasi at different rate of release second larval of C. undecimpunctata and C. carnea.
