Abstract
The study of biological aspects of Miridae bugs is important for their predatory activity. The biology of Tupiocoris cucurbitaceus, a natural enemy associated with whiteflies in tomato crops was evaluated on the hosts tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.), pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) in the presence and absence of Bemisia tabaci. Development time, longevity and fecundity of adults and sex ratio of their progeny were studied. T. cucurbitaceus cannot develop on pepper independently of food supply. On tomato and tobacco the mirid could complete its development to adult, with females emerging at 24,3 ± 1.5 days and the males at 23.7 ± 0,6 days in the presence of whitefly. Adults longevity showed a great variability for all the treatments. Female fecundity differed according to the host plant, on tomato and tobacco each female had 59.0 ± 16.8 offspring adults, while nymphs of filial generation hatched in pepper failed to complete their development. The sex ratio calculated from the F1 adults was 0.5 ± 0.1 on tomato and tobacco. In conclusion, tomato and tobacco are suitable host plants when prey is available and B. tabaci is a food source that allows the proper development of T. cucurbitaceus. Results suggest that this species has potential as biological control agent of this pest.
