Capacidad depredadora de nodita firmini navás (neuróptera:chrysopidae) sobre tres fitófagos en condiciones de laboratorio
Main Article Content
Abstract
The depredatory capacity of Nodita firmini Navás was evaluated in laboratory conditions against Myzus persicae Sulzer, Trips palmi Karny and Pseudacysta perseae Heidermann, insects plagues that impact in the national economy. The first two species were obtained of a laboratory breeding and the last one was collected in plants of avocados exempt of chemical treatments. A rehearsal was carried out for each pest, replied three times and each replies it was constituted by 40 larvae’s biological regulator. The consumed insects were counted and new preys were incorporated daily, the duration of each larval state and the percentage of formed pupae and emerged adults was measured too. The registrations of dead plant eater of each essay were subjected to the transformation and means were calculated, as well as the dependability limit. It was determined that N. firmini during their larval development depredated 279 M. persicae of the last nymph state; 1767.7 larvae-1 of T. palmi and 166.9 juvenile states of P. perseae and the duration of larval state of the depredator was respectively of 15, 12 and 11 days and the 85, 90 and 87% of the larvae fed respectively with aphids, trips and bugs, were passed to pupae and normal adults emerged of these later.
