“…Our study also suggests that a young kidney bean stem is better than an eggplant leaf as an oviposition substrate of W. rotunda, because the kidney bean stem enables higher hatchability than the eggplant leaf 17 . As shown by our study and that conducted by Uefune et al (2008a) 21 , both the hatchability and development of W. rotunda were apparently affected by plant species. For the mass rearing of W. rotunda, future studies should examine the effect of plant species provided with this predator.…”

“…putrescentiae W. rotunda: Adults and nymphs collected from eggplants infested with T. palmi in Prachin Buri, Kamphaengsaen, and Suphan Buri, Thailand, in 1995 were used to initiate a laboratory colony for our study and other studies 15,17,20,21 . The W. rotunda colony was reared through several generations on potted eggplants infested with T. palmi in a thermostatic incubator at 25°C ± 1°C and 16L8D without controlled RH.…”

Suitable Food of W. rotunda grown in greenhouses. However, the use of O. strigicollis as a control agent against thrips is difficult because the reproduction of this predator is reduced under the low temperature and short-day conditions in winter, even when released in heated greenhouses 19. Therefore, nondiapausing natural enemies from tropical or subtropical regions should be used to extend the biological control of T. palmi to greenhouses in Japan during winter. The possibility of such use had already been suggested 4,11,14 when the use of O. strigicollis as a biological control agent against T. palmi in Japanese greenhouses was initiated. In different parts of Thailand (Chiang Mai, Suphan Buri, Nakhon Pathom, and Bangkok), Wollastoniella rotunda Yasunaga et Miyamoto (initially recorded as Bilia JARQ 47 (2), 185-190 (2013) http://www.jircas.affrc.go.jp

“…Diets composed of plant and animal food sources have been studied, especially to explain effects on survival and longevity of insect predators (Butler and O'Neil 2007;Lundgren et al 2008;Robinson et al 2008;Uefune et al 2008). This combination of foods apparently provides essential nutrients or amino acids to predators not found in a single trophic level (Eubanks and Denno 1999).…”

Antibiosis of Eucalyptus plants on Podisus nigrispinus

et al. 2010

The predator Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) has been used as a natural enemy to control herbivorous insects in eucalyptus plantations. However, because of the short coevolutionary history of the predator with this imported plant species, the defensive compounds of eucalyptus may have a negative effect on the predator. Therefore, the survival and development of P. nigrispinus were studied on eucalyptus (Eucalyptus urophylla; exotic host plant) and guava (Psidium guajava; native host plant). P. nigrispinus performance was indeed superior on guava plants than on eucalyptus. The number of fertile eggs and nymphal survival were 52.6% and 12.0% on guava compared with 20.0% and 1.3% on eucalyptus, respectively. Longevity of P. nigrispinus was 115 days on guava and 98 days on eucalyptus. This shows that the predator is not yet fully adapted to the exotic host plant. One possible reason is that the plant toxic compounds in eucalyptus act on this predator by antibiosis.
