The lacewingCeraeochrysa caligataas a potential biological agent for controlling the red palm miteRaoiella indica

Abstract: Background Compared to chemical control, the use of naturally occurring biological agents to control invasive pests is less threatening to the environment and human health. Objectives Here, we assessed the ability of immature stages of the lacewing Ceraeochrysa caligata (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) to prey upon different developmental stages of the red palm mite Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae), one of the most destructive invasive pests… Show more

“…In addition to prey species and size, the predation efficiency of a predator also could be influenced by the numerical response of a group of predators (Mushtaq and Khan, 2010), the hunger level of a predator (Hassanpour et al ., 2015; Pan et al ., 2019), intraguild predation (Noppe et al ., 2012), prey distribution (Feng et al ., 2018), host plants (Barbosa et al ., 2019) and abiotic environmental factors (Parajulee et al ., 2006; Ziaei Madbouni et al ., 2017). Under complex environmental conditions in the field, the predator could exhibit a type III functional response caused by the growth of its body size (Viteri Jumbo et al ., 2019), prey switching (Schenk and Bacher, 2002) or the size of the search area (Feng et al ., 2018). To improve their biological control efficiency, chrysopids with a type II functional response would need to be released early and at a high predator–prey ratio in an augmentative biological control program.…”

“…This is a gregarious species forming colonies that live and feed on the coconut abaxial leaf surface. Today, R. indica is distributed in all tropical areas of the Americas, as well as Brazil, where R. indica can cause a significant reduction in coconut yield, particularly when temperature and precipitation increase [11,12].…”

“…Chemical control is the most prevalent method used to control diseases and pests affecting coconut palms, but it presents a serious challenge to the environment, and the health of insects, animals and humans. Chemical control can also generate resistance within the pests which may further result in secondary outbreaks [12]. The black-headed caterpillar, O. arenosella Walker, and the red palm weevil, R. ferrugineus, are controlled using chlorpyriphos 20EC.…”
