“…Zhang et al (2004) showed that T. brassicae females fed on corn pollen plus water had significantly increased longevity and fecundity compared with those fed on water alone. Also, Zhu et al (2015) reported that T. chilonis females provided Sesamum indicum L. flowers lived significantly longer and had significantly increased fecundity than when on provided water.…”

“…Parasitization performance of Trichogramma spp. (longevity, fecundity, adult emergence and female emergence) is known to be influenced by extrafloral nectar, pollen, honey, carbohydrate and protein (Ashley & Gonzalez, 1974;Hohmann et al, 1988;Baggen et al, 1999;Jervis et al, 2004;, Shearer & Atanassov, 2004Zhang et al, 2004;Wäckers, 2005;Witting-Bissinger, 2008).…”

Effects of artificial diets and floral nectar on parasitization performance of Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko, 1968 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) 1 Yapay besin ve bitki nektarının Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko, 1968 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)'nin parazitleme performansına etkileri Nihal ÖZDER 2* Şeyda DEMİRTAŞ 2 SummaryThis study was conducted to determine whether various food resources enhanced the longevity and fecundity of the egg parasitoid Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko, 1968 (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) under laboratory conditions (25°C, 65% RH, 16L:8D h photoperiod) at Laboratory of Biological Control, Department of Plant Protection, Agriculture Faculty, Namık Kemal University in 2014. Newly hatched female wasps were fed on Ephestia kuehniella Zeller, 1879 (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs with either honey, grape molasses and royal jelly as a main food, alone or double combination of this main foods or supplemented with resin (derived from plants), acacia nectar, Paulownia nectar, red tulip nectar, yellow asphodel nectar, apple syrup, liquid of E. kuehniella eggs or mashed E. kuehniella larvae. Trichogramma brassicae, females that were fed on honey and acacia nectar (17.47 d), honey + apple syrup (17.20 d), honey (16.93 d) and honey + Paulownia nectar (16.60 d) lived significantly longer than females that fed on other floral nectars and artificial diets. Females were fed on royal jelly + mashed E. kuehniella larvae (1.40 d) had the shortest longevity. Trichogramma brassicae females that were fed on honey (106.8 eggs), honey + acacia nectar (105.4 eggs), Paulownia nectar (103.13 eggs) parasitized significantly more hosts than females that fed on other floral nectars and artificial diets. Females fed on royal jelly were had the lowest parasitizing ability (3.33 eggs). These results showed that providing T. brassicae with honey, honey + acacia nectar, honey + apple syrup resulted in greater longevity and total fecundity than other food resources.

“…For example, one study failed to find evidence of pollen feeding by Trichogramma (Wellinga and Wysoki 1989), while another study demonstrated pollen feeding, and showed that consumption of pollen alone (with access to water) increased fecundity and longevity of females, though in the presence of honey, consumption of pollen did not lead to measurable increases in these parameters (Zhang et al 2004). Other studies, however, showed that pollen consumption produced an increase in fecundity and longevity of female Trichogramma only in the presence of honey (e.g., Geng et al 2006), or did not produce an increase in the presence of honey or water (Wang et al 2007).…”

“…In A. melinus fed with Aspidiotus nerii, it was determined that an increase in reproductive activity would also occur with an external food supply with sugars (Heimpel et al, 1997). This is how sugars, complemented with the supply of pollen, increase longevity and fecundity in species of the Trichogramma genus (Zhang et al, 2004). This effect is common in predatory mites of the Phytoseiidae family such as Typhlodromus pyri where some Brassicaceae species have increased female longevity and fecundity (Bermúdez et al, 2010).…”

Latania scale, Hemiberlesia lataniae (Signoret), has become a major pest of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) in Chile and has reached high populations in the fruit because of limited natural control. The objective of this study was to identify the biological parameters of the parasitoid Aphytis diaspidis (Howard) as a control agent of latania scale. Postembryonic development, parasitoidism rate, and life table parameters of the parasitoid and scale were determined under laboratory conditions. Aphytis diaspidis postembryonic development and parasitoidism rate varied significantly when evaluated on distinct latania scale stages with the highest survival (56%) occurring at the third scale stage, it also had the shortest development time between egg and adult (19.14 d) and the highest parasitoidism rate (66%). The intrinsic growth rate (r m ) was higher for A. diaspidis (r m = 0.099) than latania scale (r m = 0.068). These laboratory results demonstrated that A. diaspidis is an effective parasitoid for decreasing H. lataniae populations, especially in the third stage.
