“…Given that the period of the first oviposition (APOP and TPOP) was substantially longer for E. connexa on T. ogmophallos , it may be that the insufficient source of nutrients in this prey prolonged maturation of the predator’s ovaries before the first oviposition. The results are in compliance with those by Omkar and James 47 and Tian et al 25 who report that prey suitability affects the oviposition of Coccinella transversalis Fabricius, Coccinella undecimpunctata (Linnaeus), and Serangium japonicum Chapin (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). Furthermore, females that reached reproductive maturity by feeding on low-quality diet and acquired low energy during their development may be able to control the sex ratio of their offspring 61 .…”

The ladybird Eriopis connexa is an important natural enemy of several pest arthropods in agroecosystems. High population of this predator is frequently observed in strawberry and soybean crops associated with spider mites. We used two-sex life table parameters to evaluate under laboratory conditions, the suitability of three species of spider mites (Tetranychus evansi, Tetranychus urticae, Tetranychus ogmophallos), and a species of aphid (Myzus persicae) as a prey for the predator E. connexa. Eriopis connexa completed immature development on all prey species except on T. evansi, in which all individuals of predator died before reaching the pupal stage. Among prey species that allowed the immature development of E. connexa, T. urticae and M. persicae provided a faster development time to the predator. Oviposition days, longevity and fecundity of E. connexa on T. urticae and M. persicae were substantially longer/higher than on T. ogmophallos. Net reproductive rate (R0), intrinsic rate of increase (r), and finite rate of increase (λ) of E. connexa feeding on T. urticae and M. persicae were also higher than those on T. ogmophallos. Based on the overall performance of the ladybird, the order of suitability of prey species was M. persicae > T. urticae > T. ogmophallos > T. evansi.

“…Fotukkiaii & Sahragard (2013) stated that, the population of predators in habitat was determined by the number and types of prey available. Tian et al (2017) also reported that the abundance of the predator Serangium japonicum (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is related to the types of prey populations that exist in the field.…”

Peanut pod borer caused by Etiella zinckenella is one of the important pests of peanut in Indonesia. The symptoms of E. zinckenella attack are blackened pods and rotten seeds, causing yield loss up to 90%. The research aim was to validate the efficacy of various control technology components of peanut pod borer pests. The research was conducted at the Natar (Lampung) experimental station from April to August 2014. The research was arranged using a complete randomized design (CRD) method, the treatment consisted of six control technology components, and treatment was repeated four times. The results showed that the more larvae found in the pods, the greater the damage of the pods are crushed by larvae. Application of lambda cyhalothrin insecticide (P6) starting at 35–70 days after planting (DAP) was not able to suppress larval populations of E. zinckenella so that damaged pods were also larger and not significantly different from without control (P0). Lamda sihalotrin insecticide application also harms the survival of natural enemies (predators and parasitoids). Lamda cyhalothrin insecticides can be combined with other control components such as soybean trap plants, thiametoxam and carbofuran and parasitoid of Trichogramma bactrae-bactrae to control of peanut pod borer. Application of Lecanicillium lecanii biopesticide was combined with chemical insecticides thiametoxam or carbofuran can suppress E. zinckenella larvae and yield loses, beside it can safety against the survival of predators the order Araneida and Coleoptera and parasitoid of Hymenoptera and Diptera. Biopesticides of L. lecanii were combined with tiametoxam or carbofuran insecticides can be recommended for control agents of peanut pod borer E. zinckenella.

“…The biological control agents of B. tabaci include parasitoids, predatory ladybeetles, pathogenic microorganisms and so on [ 11 , 12 , 13 ]. The ladybeetle Serangium japonicum Chapin (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is a strong predator of whiteflies, and the adults have a lengthy longevity and high fecundity [ 12 , 14 , 15 ]; thus, the ladybeetle has drawn much attention regarding the control of B. tabaci [ 12 , 16 , 17 , 18 ].…”

Serangium japonicum Chapin (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is a predominant predator with a preference for Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). To date, the orientational behavior of S. japonicum toward B. tabaci-infested plants has seldom been reported. In this study, greenhouse cage experiments and bioassays with wind tunnels, a Y-tube olfactometer and B. tabaci-induced plant volatiles were executed to clarify this behavior. In greenhouse cage experiments, B. tabaci adults significantly preferred eggplant, cucumber and tobacco to cotton and tomato, whereas S. japonicum adults preferred B. tabaci-infested eggplant, cucumber and cotton to tobacco and tomato. In wind tunnel bioassays, B. tabaci showed a clear preference for eggplant, cucumber and tobacco. Compared with B. tabaci-infested eggplant, cucumber or cotton, B. tabaci-infested tobacco was rarely visited by S. japonicum. In Y-tube bioassays, S. japonicum did not distinguish between B. tabaci-infested and uninfested eggplant. Nine common plant volatiles were detected in different plant species, suggesting that these volatiles may play an important role in the process by which S. japonicum looks for prey. In light of the current results, we discuss the implications of our findings and put forward to a new strategy—i.e., an eggplant + B. tabaci + S. japonicum system—to control B. tabaci damage in the integrated management of whitefly.
