“…Several species of Coccinellidae are considered important natural enemies of whiteflies (Obrycki & Kring, 1998). These include Serangium parcesetosum that feeds on eggs and nymphs of B. tabaci (Legaspi et al, 1996).…”

“…The predaceous coccinellids are important natural enemies of several small phytophagous insects and acarines and are therefore considered as potentially good biocontrol agents (Obrycki & Kring, 1998). The ladybeetle Propylea japonica (Thunberg) is one of the predominant species of predators in northern China, preferentially preying on young larvae and eggs of many insect pests in the field and greenhouse vegetables.…”

Abstract. The relative suitability of three prey organisms, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) eggs, B. tabaci nymphs, and Myzus persicae (Sulzer), to the ladybird Propylea japonica (Thunberg) was evaluated under laboratory conditions. The larvae developed fastest when fed M. persicae, and slowest on B. tabaci eggs. When fed M. persicae, all larvae successfully developed into adult with a growth index (i.e., percent pupation/larval period in days) of 13.16 and development rate of 0.096. The longevity of starving adults was 4.7 ± 0.2 days. In contrast, when fed B. tabaci eggs, all larvae survived to the second instars, 56.7% of which survived to the third instars, 13.3% to the fourth instars; only 6.7% of larvae survived to the pupal stage and the pupae developed into abnormal adults that died shortly. When fed B. tabaci nymphs, all larvae survived and successfully developed into adults with a growth index of 10.71 and development rate of 0.083. The adult body mass was greater when larvae fed M. persicae, compared to adults eclosing from larvae fed B. tabaci nymphs. On the basis of these findings, the order of suitability of three prey organisms for P. japonica is M. persicae > B. tabaci nymph > B. tabaci egg. This is the first record that P. japonica can complete its development when feeding exclusively on whitefly nymphs.

Effect of Schizaphis graminum feeding on sorghum genotypes on the development of its predator Cycloneda sanguineaAbstract -The aphid Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is one of the main pests of sorghum crop. The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of this aphid feeding on resistant and susceptible sorghum genotypes on the development of its predator Cycloneda sanguinea (Linnaeus) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). The aphid was reared on leaves of sorghum genotypes GR 11111 and TX 430 x GR 111, resistant, GB 3B, moderately resistant, and BR 007B, susceptible to the hemipterous. Larvae of C. sanguinea were fed ad libitum on S. graminum nymphs and adults, daily. The duration and survival of developmental phases of C. sanguinea were not significantly influenced by genotype. Only the fourth instar, the larval phase and the larvae-adult period duration were affected. The weight of C. sanguinea larvae of second instar was not affected by sorghum genotype. For both instars and adult phase, this parameter was differentiate due to each genotype used as host to the aphid. The resistant genotypes GR 11111 and TX 430 x GR 111 do not affect adversely C. sanguinea development and fecundity, during one generation. These genotypes show compatibility with the predator, allowing the S. graminum management on sorghum crop.

“…Host plants may influence predation efficiency either directly or indirectly, due to either a change in prey susceptibility or predator success in searching for its prey (Obrycki and Kring, 1998). Thus, the trichomes may influence the behavior and predation ability of natural enemies (Hare, 1992;Guershon and Gerling, 2006), and predator efficiency may be adversely affected due to an increase in searching time for the prey (Botrell et al, 1998).…”

Many plant breeding programs have incorporated plant resistance characteristics without considering how this resistance may affect the natural enemies of plant pests. We evaluated the biological aspects of Delphastus davidsoni (Gordon) fed with Bemisia tabaci B biotype eggs laid on tomato genotypes with different trichome densities and types. On LA1335 and NAV1062, the development periods were 21 days, and the larval mortality rates were 46.7 % and 28.9 %, respectively; on IAC294, the development period was 26 days, and the mortality rate 88.9 %. None of the larvae completed development when fed with whitefly eggs laid on PI134418. Most of the deaths took place in the second instar stage because the larvae became trapped in the glandular trichomes; similar results were also observed on IAC294. The adult longevity and female fecundity on LA1335 and NAV1062 were 32 and 34 days, and 61 and 78 eggs, respectively. The type IV and VI glandular trichomes present on PI134418 and IAC294 adversely affected the larval development of D. davidsoni, resulting in high mortality rates. Nevertheless, type V non-glandular trichomes, in high (NAV1062) or low (LA1335) densities, did not affect the development of the insect.
