Natural enemies associated to aphids in peach orchards in Araucária, Paraná, Brazil

Abstract: Natural enemies of the Class Insecta are important agents in the balance of aphid populations and an alternative to using insecticides to control these insects. The aim of this study was to identify the species of natural enemies associated with aphids present in peach orchards and observe the efficiency of capturing different sampling methods.

“…The natural enemy communities that we monitored in this study were restricted to those species that have active flight in the adult stage, and so excluded several natural enemy taxa of importance such as epigeal predators, wingless parasitoids and spiders that can be of importance in orchard crops (Allen and Hagley, 1990;Riddick and Mills, 1994;Monzó et al, 2011;Unruh et al, 2016, this issue). Other sampling methods that have been used to monitor natural enemies in orchard crops include beat trays (Benhadi-Marin et al, 2011;Wearing et al, 2011;Horton et al, 2012), pitfall traps (Riddick and Mills, 1995;Wearing et al, 2011), yellow pan traps or sticky cards (Wearing et al, 2011;Schuber et al, 2012), and corrugated cardboard bands (Marliac et al, 2015). Among these alternatives some are more selective in the range of natural enemy taxa sampled, such as pitfall traps (epigeal predators), beat trays (juvenile foliage predators) and cardboard bands (overwintering and cryptic predators and parasitoids), while others such as yellow pan traps or stick cards are equally broad, but are also restricted to actively flying species.…”

“…The soldier beetles (Coleoptera: Cantharidae) contain important predator species that prey upon a variety of aphids, whiteflies, lepidopteran eggs, thrips, and mites [1]. With these features, these beetles have great potential to use in biological control of the different pests.…”
