O trabalho foi desenvolvido no Laboratório de Biologia e Criação de Insetos (LBCI) da FCAV-UNESP, para avaliar o efeito da interação entre resistência de cultivares de brássicas, inseticidas químicos e produtos vegetais e Trichogramma no controle de P/utella xy/ostella. Para tanto, avaliou-se a biologia de P. xy/ostella nas cultivares de repolho: Chato de Quintal (CQ), Midori (MD), Roxo Precoce (RP) e Híbrido Roxo (HR) e, nas cultivares de couve, Geórgia (CM) e Híbrido Geórgia HS20 (HS20) em laboratório. Avaliou-se a toxicidade dos inseticidas lufenuron e deltametrina, bem como dos produtos vegetais óleo de nim e extrato pirolenhoso, pela adequação das concentrações letais (CLso) dos produtos. Com os mesmos produtos citados, foram avaliados os efeitos sobre Trichogramma. Finalmente, avaliou-se a associação dos métodos testados primordialmente, utilizando-se as cultivares de repolho e os inseticidas químicos e produtos vegetais, bem como o efeito sobre Trichogramma. A cultivar CQ foi classificada como moderadamente resistente; RP e MD como suscetíveis, e CM, HS20 e HR como altamente suscetíveis, sendo 'observado também, que nenhuma cultivar apresentou a substância sinigrina. Lufenuron, óleo de nim e extrato pirolenhoso, causaram até 100% de mortalidade para P. xy/ostella, e Decis não foi eficiente. Deltametrina também foi o produto mais prejudicial aos parasitóides T. exiguum e T. pretiosum, enquanto o produto Nim e o inseticida Match foram os menos prejudiciais. A associação dos métodos químicos e resistência de plantas elevam o potencial de controle para P. xy/ostella, mas essa estratégia deve ser bem avaliada, pois pode afetar o desempenho dos parasitóides, reduzindo seu potencial de controle.
The project was developed to evaluate the effect of the interaction between resistance of cabbage cultivars, insecticides and Trichogramma in the P/utella xy/ostella control. The biology of P. xy/ostella was evaluated in the following cabbage cultivars: Chato de Quintal (CQ), Midori (MD), Roxo Precoce (RP) and Roxo Hybrid (RH), and kale cultivars: Geórgia (CM) and Geórgia Hybrid HS20 (HS20), in laboratory. The toxicity of the insecticides lufenuron and deltamethrin and, of the vegetal products neem oil and pyroligneous extract, was evaluated for the adequacy of the lethal concentrations (LC50) of the products. With those products, the effect on Trichogramma was also evaluated. Finally, it was evaluated the association of the methods tested, using cabbage cultivars and chemical insecticides and vegetal products, and the effect on Trichogramma. The cultivar CQ was classified as moderately resistant; RP and MO as susceptible, and CM, HS20 and HR as highly susceptible, being also observed, that the cultivars tested did not present sinigrin. Lufenuron, Neem oil and pyroligneous extract caused up to 100% of P. xy/ostella mortality and deltabethrin was not efficient. Oeltamethrin was most harmful product to the parasitoids T exiguum and T pretiosum, while neem oil and lufenurun were less harmful. The interaction of chemical and plant resistance methods, increased the potential to P. xy/ostella control, but this strategy must be well evaluated, as it can affect negativity the parasitoid performance, reducing its control potential.

Abstract:

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), is a pest on crucifer crops worldwide, damaging the leaves, florets and seed pods of many crucifers including cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and canola. It has been controlled using broad-spectrum insecticides, but this has led to a rapid build-up of insecticide resistance. In the Grahamstown area of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, diamondback moth showed resistance to cypermethrin (a pyrethroid) on commercially grown cabbages. Therefore it is imperative that other methods of control be adopted, including both cultural control and biological control using parasitoids, and that these are incorporated into an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme. The diamondback moth and its parasitoids were monitored weekly from April 1997 to November 1999 at three sites near Grahamstown. One site was a commercial farm with an active insecticide spraying program; the others were unsprayed. Infestation levels were highest during spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May). Nine species of parasitoids were associated with the diamondback moth, with abundances being highest over spring and early summer (September to December). Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjumov) dominated the sprayed site, while the unsprayed sites yielded a complex of parasitoids, including C. plutellae, Diadegma mollipla (Holmgren), Diadromus collaris Gravenhorst and Oomyzus sokolowsldi (Kurdjumov). Parasitism levels ranged between 10 and 90%. There was a large amount of site-to-site and year-to-year variation. Parasitoids were an effective mortality factor against the diamondback moth. The effects of temperature on development and mortality, and of field size and non-crop plants on the distribution of diamondback moth and its parasitoids, were investigated. The results show that high temperatures can depress pest populations, and that the size and surroundings of fields can be manipulated to improve cultural control of the diamondback moth. Suggestions for effective rPM in the Eastern Cape Province include a reduction in insecticide applications, the use of bioinsecticides, for example Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt) and the encouragement of indigenous parasitoids by planting suitable nectar sources. Cultural control methods are also important and involve removal of cabbage refuse after harvest, management of wild crucifers around cabbage fields, scouting and monitoring the moth population and determining the optimal field size to assist with control by parasitoids.

A traça-das-crucíferas, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), é uma das principais pragas da família Brassicaceae, com controle baseado no uso indiscriminado de inseticidas, o que tem propiciado o aumento no número de casos de populações resistentes a diferentes ingredientes ativos. O controle biológico com a utilização de micro-organismos entomopatogênicos constitui uma importante ferramenta para o manejo desta praga. Entretanto, o principal entrave quanto à eficiência e conservação destes agentes microbianos no campo está relacionado à compatibilidade com os agrotóxicos. O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar a suscetibilidade de P. xylostella a micro-organismos entomopatogênicos e avaliar a compatibilidade dos entomopatógenos mais virulentos com inseticidas registrados para o controle do complexo de pragas da cultura do repolho.

Diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), is one of the main pest in Brassicaceae family with control based on the indiscriminate use of insecticides, which has provided an increase in the number of cases of resistant populations to different active ingredients. Biological control, by using of entomopathogenic microorganisms is an important tool for the management of this pest. However, the main obstacle in terms of efficiency and conservation of these microbial agents in the field is related to the compatibility with pesticides. The aim of the research was to analyze the susceptibility of P. xylostella to entomopathogenic microorganisms and evaluate the compatibility of the most virulent entomopathogens with insecticides registered for the control of pest complex in cabbage crop. Efficiency of 13 isolates of the entomopathogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis was analyzed, in addition to isolates of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium rileyi, Isaria fumosorosea, I. sinclairii and Lecanicillium muscarium by performing pathogenicity and virulence tests (LC50 and LT50) on second instar larvae of P. xylostella. The interaction between the isolates and active ingredients was made from the mixture of the insecticide in the culture medium, inoculated with an aliquot of the microorganism suspension after medium solidify, evaluated the number of spores / mL (B. thuringiensis), and the colony growth, the number and conidia viability (entomopathogenic fungi) after seven days the inoculation of these microorganisms. The isolates of B. thuringiensis HD-1, HD-4, HD-11, HD-73 and T-07were the most efficient in P. xylostella control, responsible for overall mortality, with LC50 ranging from 0.75 to 11.66 × 103 spores / mL and TL50 between 25.12 to 34.47 h.

Parasitoid dispersion and host location can be affected by abiotic and biotic factors related to the parasitoid and its host. Therefore, we investigated the effects of age, photoperiod, and parasitism of Oomyzus sokolowskii (Kurdjumov) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) under different densities of Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), in the laboratory, green house and field. Moreover, we investigated the effect of superparasitism on O. sokolowskii fitness, its dispersion ability in the field, and the effect of a multiple host plant systems on its parasitism capacity. Results showed that there was no effect of the light regime (light or darkness) on the parasitization; although parasitoid was more active after 3h of light exposure. Female parasitization activity was maintained up to the age of 20 days, but the offspring emerged per host decreased as wasps aged. Parasitism rate increased with parasitoid age up to 96 h and when wasps received a constant number of hosts daily in comparison with a random number (13.3 versus 8.9 larvae). In addition, the number of larvae parasitized increased with host density, varying from 1.7 to 10.4, in the laboratory, and from 0.61 to 7.0, in the field. In the green house,parasitism was higher in microparcels with higher host infestation, and with more exposition time to parasitization (24h: 52.4% and; 72h: 80.7%). Regarding the superparasitism, it increased thenumber and longevity of offspring produced per larva, but decreased offspring body size. However, developmental time and sex ratio of parasitoid offspring were not affected. Parasitoids were able to disperse and parasitize larvae at similar rates throughout the field up to 24m from the releasing point. Intercropping of cabbage with broccoli, Napa cabbage, cilantro and green onion did not negatively affect parasitism rates of O. sokolowskii. Then, results suggest that O. sokolowskii could be favored by superparasitism and have the potential to control P. xylostella under different densities, regardless of the cropping system.
A dispersão de parasitóides e a localização do hospedeiro podem ser influenciadas por fatores abióticos e bióticos inerentes ao parasitóide e ao seu hospedeiro. Portanto, investigou-se o efeito da idade, do fotoperíodo, e parasitismo de Oomyzus sokolowskii (Kurdjumov) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) submetido a diferentes densidades de Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), em laboratório, casa telada e campo. Além disso, o efeito do superparasitismo em lagartas no desempenho de O. sokolowskii, a sua capacidade de dispersão em campo, e o efeito do sistema de cultivo de brássicas na sua capacidade de parasitismo foram investigados. Resultados mostram que não houve efeito do regime de luz (luz ou escuro) na taxa de parasitismo; porém, parasitóides apresentaram maior atividade após 3h de exposição à luz. Fêmeas de O. sokolowskii parasitam até 20 dias de idade, mas com redução na progênie com a idade. Houve maior parasitismo até a idade de 96 h das fêmeas e ao receberem diariamente um número constante de lagartas comparado à disponibilidade randômica (13,3 versus 8,9 lagartas).Adicionalmente, o número de lagartas parasitadas aumentou com a densidade do hospedeiro variando de 1,7 a 10,4, em laboratório, e de 0,61 a 7,0, em campo. Em casa telada, um maior parasitismo foi observado em microparcelas com maiores infestações de lagartas, e com o tempode exposição das lagartas aos parasitóides (24h: 52,4% e; 72h: 80,7%). Com relação ao superparasitismo, este aumentou o número e a longevidade dos descendentes produzidos por lagarta, mas com redução do tamanho do corpo dos descendentes. No entanto, a duração do desenvolvimento e a razão sexual dos descendentes não foram afetadas. Com relação à dispersão, parasitóides se dispersaram e parasitaram lagartas em taxas semelhantes até 24m a partir do ponto de liberação, e o policultivo de repolho com brócolis, couve-chinesa, coentro e cebolinha não afetou o parasitismo de lagartas por O. sokolowskii. Assim, resultados demonstram que O. sokolowskii pode ser beneficiado pelo superparasitismo e tem potencial para controlar P. xylostella em diferentes densidades e independente do sistema de cultivo.

O trabalho foi desenvolvido no Laboratório de Genética de Bactérias e Biotecnologia Aplicada (LGBBA) da FCAV-UNESP. Foram caracterizados geneticamente, por PCR, isolados de Bacillus thuringiensis, provenientes de três coleções brasileiras, quanto aos tipos de genes cry1, avaliando-se o efeito dos mesmos sobre uma população de Plutella xylostella caracterizando-se também os isolados de B. thuringiensis quanto à presença de enterotoxinas HBL, NHE e o regulador pleitrópico PLC, por verificação biomolecular, avaliando a variabilidade, bem como a estruturação genética de populações de B. thuringiensis, por PCR-RFLP. Verificou-se que existe uma distribuição homogênea das subclasses cry1 dentro do banco de isolados de B. thuringiensis, com maior porcentagem de isolados portadores dos genes cry1Ab (42,12%) e com menor porcentagem de representantes da subclasse cry1Db (0,6%). Nos bioensaios observou-se 100% de mortalidade para lagartas de P. xylostella com os isolados utilizados, indicando que combinações de tipos diferentes de genes cry1 apresentam ação tóxica para larvas de P. xylostella. Analisando a estrutura populacional de B. thuringiensis foram obtidos 78 haplótipos, definidos para as populações das diferentes coleções, e 76 haplótipos, definidos para as populações de diferentes regiões brasileiras, retratando a variabilidade genética para os loci hblA, plcR, nheBC e cry1 analisados. Segundo valores FSTs, de comparação duas a duas, diferenças significativas entre coleções e populações de B. thuringiensis provenientes das regiões brasileiras foram verificadas. Mesmo assim, alguns grupos formados são constituídos por uma população clonal de isolados da bactéria.
The work was developed in the Laboratory of Bacterias’ Genetics and Applied Biotechnology (LGBBA) at UNESP/ Jaboticabal Campus. There were genetically characterized, by PCR, isolates of B. thuringiensis, belonging to three Brazilian collections basead on cry1 gene content, evaluating their effects on Plutella xylostella. They were also characterized concerning their enterotoxins production such as HBL, NHE and the PLC virulence factor, using molecular techniques, so as to evaluate their gene diversities, as well as their population genetic, using the PCR-RFLP approach. It was observed a homogeneous distribution of the cry1 subclasses within B. thuringiensis strain collections studied, with bigger percentage of isolates showing the cry1Ab genes (42.12%) and with lower percentage of isolates for subclass cry1Db (0.6%). The bioassays have revealed 100% mortality to P. xylostella larvae meaning that the effectiveness of B. thuringiensis as a biological control agent does not depend at the cry genes content. When the B. thuringiensis population structure was considered, 78 haplotypes were defined for the strains contents of different collections and 76 haplotypes were defined for strains of different Brazilian regions, exhibiting the great genetic variability for hblA, plcR, nheBC and cry1 loci. According to the FSTs values for establish pair comparisons, significant differences among the B. thuringiensis collections and populations, were observed. Nevertheless some of the formed groups were considered as bacterial clonal population.

Abstract: The project was developed to evaluate the effect of the interaction between resistance of cabbage cultivars, insecticides and Trichogramma in the P/utella xy/ostella control. The biology of P. xy/ostella was evaluated in the following cabbage cultivars: Chato de Quintal (CQ), Midori (MD), Roxo Precoce (RP) and Roxo Hybrid (RH), and kale cultivars: Geórgia (CM) and Geórgia Hybrid HS20 (HS20), in laboratory. The toxicity of the insecticides lufenuron and deltamethrin and, of the vegetal products neem oil and pyroligneous extract, was evaluated for the adequacy of the lethal concentrations (LC50) of the products. With those products, the effect on Trichogramma was also evaluated. Finally, it was evaluated the association of the methods tested, using cabbage cultivars and chemical insecticides and vegetal products, and the effect on Trichogramma. The cultivar CQ was classified as moderately resistant; RP and MO as susceptible, and CM, HS20 and HR as highly susceptible, being also observed, that the cultivars tested did not present sinigrin. Lufenuron, Neem oil and pyroligneous extract caused up to 100% of P. xy/ostella mortality and deltabethrin was not efficient. Oeltamethrin was most harmful product to the parasitoids T exiguum and T pretiosum, while neem oil and lufenurun were less harmful. The interaction of chemical and plant resistance methods, increased the potential to P. xy/ostella control, but this strategy must be well evaluated, as it can affect negativity the parasitoid performance, reducing its control potential.

Resumo: O trabalho foi desenvolvido no Laboratório de Genética de Bactérias e Biotecnologia Aplicada (LGBBA) da FCAV-UNESP. Foram caracterizados geneticamente, por PCR, isolados de Bacillus thuringiensis, provenientes de três coleções brasileiras, quanto aos tipos de genes cry1, avaliando-se o efeito dos mesmos sobre uma população de Plutella xylostella caracterizando-se também os isolados de B. thuringiensis quanto à presença de enterotoxinas HBL, NHE e o regulador pleitrópico PLC, por verificação biomolecular, avaliando a variabilidade, bem como a estruturação genética de populações de B. thuringiensis, por PCR-RFLP. Verificou-se que existe uma distribuição homogênea das subclasses cry1 dentro do banco de isolados de B. thuringiensis, com maior porcentagem de isolados portadores dos genes cry1Ab (42,12%) e com menor porcentagem de representantes da subclasse cry1Db (0,6%). Nos bioensaios observou-se 100% de mortalidade para lagartas de P. xylostella com os isolados utilizados, indicando que combinações de tipos diferentes de genes cry1 apresentam ação tóxica para larvas de P. xylostella. Analisando a estrutura populacional de B. thuringiensis foram obtidos 78 haplótipos, definidos para as populações das diferentes coleções, e 76 haplótipos, definidos para as populações de diferentes regiões brasileiras, retratando a variabilidade genética para os loci hblA, plcR, nheBC e cry1 analisados. Segundo valores FSTs, de comparação duas a duas, diferenças significativas entre coleções e populações de B. thuringiensis provenientes das regiões brasileiras foram verificadas. Mesmo assim, alguns grupos formados são constituídos por uma população clonal de isolados da bactéria.
Abstract: The work was developed in the Laboratory of Bacterias' Genetics and Applied Biotechnology (LGBBA) at UNESP/ Jaboticabal Campus. There were genetically characterized, by PCR, isolates of B. thuringiensis, belonging to three Brazilian collections basead on cry1 gene content, evaluating their effects on Plutella xylostella. They were also characterized concerning their enterotoxins production such as HBL, NHE and the PLC virulence factor, using molecular techniques, so as to evaluate their gene diversities, as well as their population genetic, using the PCR-RFLP approach. It was observed a homogeneous distribution of the cry1 subclasses within B. thuringiensis strain collections studied, with bigger percentage of isolates showing the cry1Ab genes (42.12%) and with lower percentage of isolates for subclass cry1Db (0.6%). The bioassays have revealed 100% mortality to P. xylostella larvae meaning that the effectiveness of B. thuringiensis as a biological control agent does not depend at the cry genes content. When the B. thuringiensis population structure was considered, 78 haplotypes were defined for the strains contents of different collections and 76 haplotypes were defined for strains of different Brazilian regions, exhibiting the great genetic variability for hblA, plcR, nheBC and cry1 loci. According to the FSTs values for establish pair comparisons, significant differences among the B. thuringiensis collections and populations, were observed. Nevertheless some of the formed groups were considered as bacterial clonal population.

A traça-das-crucíferas Plutella xylostella é relatada como uma das principais pragas das crucíferas no Brasil e no mundo. Sua principal forma de controle ainda é o químico, mas seu uso indiscriminado tem causado problemas de resistência de algumas populações, além de matar seus inimigos naturais e trazer malefícios para o ambiente e para o homem. Alguns estudos de controle biológico vêm sendo realizados para o controle dessa praga, dentre eles destacando-se o uso de fungos entomopatogênicos e de parasitóides. Assim, foi realizado um estudo com o objetivo de determinar a concentração e tempo letal 50 e 90 dos fungos entomopatogênicos Beauveria bassiana, Isaria fumosorosea e Metarhizium anisopliae para lagartas de P. xylostella, e a patogenicidade de isolados deste fungos para ovos, lagartas, pupas e adultos da praga. Foram utilizados cinco isolados de cada espécie fúngica, sendo que os mais patogênicos à todas as fases do ciclo de vida do inseto foram utilizados para investigar a interação dos entomopatógenos com os parasitóides Trichogramma pretiosum e T. exiguum e com o predador Podisus nigrispinus. As CL90 para B. bassiana, I. fumosorosea e M. anisopliae foram 2 x 108, 8,65 x 107 e 1,77 x 108 conídios mL-1, respectivamente, sendo que estas foram utilizadas em todos os experimentos posteriores. Os isolados CB 75 e IBCB 133 de I. fumosorosea mostraram uma ação patogênica eficiente para ovos da praga, causando, respectivamente, 66 e 70% de mortalidade. Para a fase de lagarta os isolados E9 e o IBCB 425 de M. anisopliae, causaram, respectivamente, 98 e 96% de mortes. Considerando a mortalidade total de pupas tratadas e seus adultos emergidos, a ação dos isolados AM 09, JAB 07, IBCB 74 e IBCB 87 não diferiu significativamente (p<0,01) causando, respectivamente, 94, 92, 82 e 100% de mortalidade do inseto.

The diamondback moth Plutella xylostella is related as one of mainly pests in crucifers in Brazil. Its mainly control way still is chemical, but its indiscriminate use has been causing resistance in some populations, besides to kill its natural enemies and bring bad things for environment and human. Some studies of biological control have been made, outsdanding entomopathogenic fungi and parasitoids. Thus, it was determinated the lethal time and concentration 50 and 90 of entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana, Isaria fumosorosea and Metarhizium anisopliae to larvae of P. xylostella, and the pathogenicity of strains of these fungi to eggs, larvae, pupae and adults of the pest. It was used five strains of each fungal specie, and the most pathogenic were used to investigate the interaction between entomopathogens and the parasitoids Trichogramma pretiosum and T. exiguum and with the predator Podisus nigrispinus. The LC90 for B. bassiana, I. fumosorosea and M. anisopliae were 2 x 108, 8,65 x 107 e 1,77 x 108 conidia ml-1, respectively, being used in the following bioassays. The strains CB 75 and IBCB 133 of I. fumosorosea showed an efficient pathogenic action for the eggs of the pest, causing, respectively, 66 and 70% of mortality. For larvae the isolates E9 and IBCB 425 of M. anisopliae, caused, respectively, 98 and 96% of death. Considering the total mortality of treated pupae and its emerged adults, the action of AM 09, JAB 07, IBCB 74 and IBCB 87, did not differ significantly (p<0,01) causing, respectively, 94, 92, 82 e 100% of insect mortality. For adults there was no statistical difference between the B. bassiana strains. The isolates CB 75 and IBCB 133 of I. fumosorosea caused, respectively, 98 and 94% of adults death of P. xylostella and the strains E9, IBCB 159 and IBCB 425 of M. anisopliae, caused 100, 92 and 96% of death.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a biologia de linhagens de P. xylostella em criações para fins de pesquisa e verificar o efeito de B. thuringiensis sobre P. nigrispinus em associação de métodos para o manejo da praga em ambiente protegido. As larvas de P. xylostella foram coletadas em Brassica oleracea var. italica - brócolis Piracicaba, e mantidas em Brassica oleracea var. acephala - couve Manteiga híbrida HS-20. A cada geração aspectos biológicos dos insetos foram avaliados em ensaios de laboratório. As características biológicas analisadas foram: período larval, viabilidade de larvas, período pupal, viabilidade de pupas, peso pupal, razão sexual, número de ovos por fêmea, fertilidade de ovos, longevidade de machos e longevidade de fêmeas. Também, com os dados obtidos foi construída a tabela de vida de fertilidade. Já com predador, P. nigrispinus, foi avaliada a história de vida, o consumo de lagartas de P. xylostella em plantas de couve tratadas com bioinseticidas à base de Bacillus thuringiensis e também sua atividade de fitofagia nestas plantas, em casa de vegetação. Nas avaliações de P. xylostella, indivíduos coletados no campo apresentaram duração larval (8,2 dias) e pupal (3,8 dias) maiores, diminuindo ao longo de gerações. A viabilidade pupal (86,9%) e a fertilidade (93,0%) também foram maiores para essa população, com menor peso de pupa (4,7 mg). Além disso, apresentaram menor taxa líquida de aumento populacional (Ro), com 39 fêmeas/fêmea/dia, enquanto que, na população de P. xylostella proveniente do laboratório foi de 47,8 fêmeas/fêmea/dia. As características biológicas dos predadores, de modo geral, não sofreram alterações quando consumiram presas diretamente em plantas de couve tratadas com os bioinseticidas. Além disso, a fitofagia foi semelhante indicando que os bioinseticidas utilizados, mesmo o produto formulado, não apresentam substâncias que são repelentes para os predadores. Em conclusão, os parâmetros biológicos de P. xylostella demonstraram que o baixo desempenho em algumas características nas primeiras gerações pode ser melhorado ao longo das gerações e que o isolado HD1 ou o produto comercial Agree® à base de B. thuringiensis podem ser utilizados em associação com o predador P. nigrispinus em ambiente protegido visando o controle de P. xylostella.

In addition, the lower net rate of population increase (Ro) with 39 females / female / day, whereas in P. xylostella population from the laboratory was 47.8 females / female / day. In general, the biological characteristics of predators did not change when the predators consumed prey directly on kale plants treated with biopesticides. In addition, phytophagy was similar indicating that biopesticides used, even the formulated product did not have substances that were repellent to predators. In conclusion, the biological parameters of P. xylostella demonstrated that the poor performance in some biological in the first generation can be improved over the generations, and HD1 strain or commercial product Agree® based of B. thuringiensis can be used in combination with the predator P. nigrispinus in a protected environment to control P. xylostella.

Resumo: O trabalho foi desenvolvido no Laboratório de Biologia e Criação de Insetos (LBCI) da FCAV - UNESP - Jaboticabal, para avaliar os aspectos biológicos e a taxa de consumo do predador Orius insidiosus (Say, 1832) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), alimentando-se de ovos e lagartas de segundo ínstar de Plutella xylostella (L., 1758) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) e em ovos de Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller, 1879) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) (considerado tratamento testemunha). Para as espécies estudadas, O. insidiosus apresentou um período ninfal maior quando alimentado com lagartas de P. xylostella. O consumo total, durante a fase ninfal, foi maior quando alimentados com ovos de A. kuehniella, ovos e lagartas de P. xylostella, respectivamente. Na fase adulta, o período de pré-oviposição foi menor para os insetos alimentados com lagartas de P. xylostella, o que resultou em um encurtamento nessa fase biológica do predador. Os ovos de P. xylostella foram nutricionalmente mais adequados ao desenvolvimento de O. insidiosus. Para os ovos de P. xylostella, O. insidiosus apresentou curva de resposta funcional tipo II e mostrou uma tendência de estabilização nas densidades mais altas. A taxa de ataque (a) foi de 0,0127 ovos/hora e 0,00233 lagartas/hora e o tempo de manipulação (Th) foi de 1,4037 horas e de 2,7903 horas, para ovos e lagartas de P. xylostella, respectivamente.
Abstract: This study was done at the Laboratório de Biologia e Criação de Insetos (LBCI) at FCAV - UNESP - Jaboticabal, to assess the biological aspects and the rate of consumption of the predator Orius insidiosus (Say, 1832) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), feeding on eggs and second instar larvae of Plutella xylostella (L., 1758) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) and on eggs of Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller, 1879) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) (considered to be check treatment). For the species studied, O. insidiosus presented a longer nymph period when fed with P. xylostella caterpillars. Total consumption, during the nymph stage, was greater for A. kuehniella eggs, P. xylostella eggs and caterpillars, respectively. In the adult phase, the preoviposition period was shorter for the insects fed on P. xylostella caterpillars, demonstrating a shortening of this biological phase in the predator. The eggs of P. xylostella were nutritionally better suited to the development of O. insidiosus. For the eggs of P. xylostella, O. insidiosus presented a type II functional response curve, showing a tendency to stabilize in higher densities. The searching rate (a) was 0.0127 eggs/hour and 0.00233 caterpillars/hour and the handling time (Ht) was 1.4037 hours and 2.7903 hours, for P. xylostella eggs and caterpillars, respectively.

O trabalho foi desenvolvido no Laboratório de Biologia e Criação de Insetos (LBCI) da FCAV - UNESP - Jaboticabal, para avaliar os aspectos biológicos e a taxa de consumo do predador Orius insidiosus (Say, 1832) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), alimentando-se de ovos e lagartas de segundo ínstar de Plutella xylostella (L., 1758) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) e em ovos de Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller, 1879) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) (considerado tratamento testemunha). Para as espécies estudadas, O. insidiosus apresentou um período ninfal maior quando alimentado com lagartas de P. xylostella. O consumo total, durante a fase ninfal, foi maior quando alimentados com ovos de A. kuehniella, ovos e lagartas de P. xylostella, respectivamente. Na fase adulta, o período de pré-oviposição foi menor para os insetos alimentados com lagartas de P. xylostella, o que resultou em um encurtamento nessa fase biológica do predador. Os ovos de P. xylostella foram nutricionalmente mais adequados ao desenvolvimento de O. insidiosus. Para os ovos de P. xylostella, O. insidiosus apresentou curva de resposta funcional tipo II e mostrou uma tendência de estabilização nas densidades mais altas. A taxa de ataque (a) foi de 0,0127 ovos/hora e 0,00233 lagartas/hora e o tempo de manipulação (Th) foi de 1,4037 horas e de 2,7903 horas, para ovos e lagartas de P. xylostella, respectivamente.
This study was done at the Laboratório de Biologia e Criação de Insetos (LBCI) at FCAV - UNESP - Jaboticabal, to assess the biological aspects and the rate of consumption of the predator Orius insidiosus (Say, 1832) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), feeding on eggs and second instar larvae of Plutella xylostella (L., 1758) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) and on eggs of Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller, 1879) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) (considered to be check treatment). For the species studied, O. insidiosus presented a longer nymph period when fed with P. xylostella caterpillars. Total consumption, during the nymph stage, was greater for A. kuehniella eggs, P. xylostella eggs and caterpillars, respectively. In the adult phase, the preoviposition period was shorter for the insects fed on P. xylostella caterpillars, demonstrating a shortening of this biological phase in the predator. The eggs of P. xylostella were nutritionally better suited to the development of O. insidiosus. For the eggs of P. xylostella, O. insidiosus presented a type II functional response curve, showing a tendency to stabilize in higher densities. The searching rate (a) was 0.0127 eggs/hour and 0.00233 caterpillars/hour and the handling time (Ht) was 1.4037 hours and 2.7903 hours, for P. xylostella eggs and caterpillars, respectively.

The diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (L.) is a key pest of cabbage in the Agreste area of Pernambuco state. Despite of being a key pest, the DBM is attacked by several natural enemies including the egg parasitoid, Trichogramma. In addition, formulated insecticides with different strains of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner are widely used to control the larval stages. Thus, this research aimed to search for a local species or population of Trichogramma; to study its biological characteristics and parasitism on DBM eggs; to investigated the oviposition site preference of DBM and its parasitism by Trichogramma on cabbage plants at pre- and post-head formation in the field and; to investigate the susceptibility of 10 Brazilian populations of DBM relative to the commercial formulations of B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Dipel®WP) (Btk) and B. thuringiensis var. aizawai (Xentari®WG). Trichogramma survey was conducted in areas with organic-growing vegetables, Chã-Grande County, PE. The collected species wasTrichogramma pretiosum Riley. The biological characteristics and parasitism were similar for this population parasitizing DBM eggs and eggs of the laboratory standard host, Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller). In the field, the parasitism of DBM eggs by T. pretiosum was associated with the moth oviposition site preference and exhibited a positive relationship with egg availability; but, the eggparasitism rate was density independent across both plant ages. The oviposition of DBM on cabbage plants at pre-head formation and its parasitism was equally distributed across the plant leaves. At this plant age, the basal part of the leaf and the upper leaf surface were the preferred places for oviposition and parasitism. Plants at post-head formation stage had higher oviposition and parasitism on the central leaf wrapping the head and in the upper leaf surface. The susceptibility of DBM to the insecticides Btk and Bta resulted in significant levels of resistance. The resistance ratio was 180 and 999 times to the recommended rates of Bta and Btk, respectively. Furthermore, variation of larvae and adults regarding walking and oviposition behavior were observed among the populations using treated and untreated cabbage leaf discswith Bta and Btk.
traça-das-crucíferas, Plutella xylostella (L.) é praga-chave do repolho no Agreste de Pernambuco. Apesar da condição de praga-chave, ela possui vários inimigos naturais incluindo o parasitóide de ovos Trichogramma. Além de que seu controle é feito com inseticidas à base de Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner. Deste modo, esta pesquisa teve como objetivos realizar a coleta de uma população Trichogramma spp. associado a cultivo orgânico de brássicas no Agreste de Pernambuco; estudar a biologia e o parasitismo da espécie coletada, no hospedeiro P. xylostella, comparado ao hospedeiro de criação Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller) (Lep.: Pyralidae); investigar a distribuição da oviposição de P. xylostella e seu parasitismo por Trichogramma em repolho antes e após formação da cabeça e; investigar a susceptibilidade de populações de P. xylostella as formulações comerciais de B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Dipel® WP) (Btk) e B. thuringiensis var. aizawai (Xentari® WG) (Bta). Foram realizadas coletas de Trichogramma em cultivo orgânico nomunicípio de Chã-Grande, PE. A coleta resultou na espécie Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hym.: Trichogrammatidae). As características biológicas e o parasitismo desta população em ovos de P. xylostella e no hospedeiro alternativo, Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller), foram similares. O parasitismo de ovos de P. xylostella por T. pretiosum, em campo, foi associado ao local de maioroviposição da praga e mostrou-se positivamente correlacionado com a quantidade de ovos depositados pela praga em diferentes estruturas da planta, porém com taxas de parasitismo independentes da densidade. A oviposição de P. xylostella e seu parasitismo por T. pretiosum em plantas de repolho antes da formação da cabeça foram igualmente distribuídas entre as folhas. A parte basal e a epiderme superior das folhas foram às localidades preferidas para oviposição e parasitismo, respectivamente. Plantas após a formação de cabeça tiveram maior oviposição e parasitismo na folha central envolvendo a cabeça e na epiderme superior desta folha. Com relação à susceptibilidade de P. xylostella aos inseticidas Dipel e Xentari, foram constatados consideráveis níveis de resistência. A razão de resistência de até 180 e 999 vezes a concentração recomendada de Dipel e Xentari, bem como foram observadas variações no comportamento de caminhamento das larvas e preferência de oviposicão em discos foliares tratados e não tratadoscom Dipel e Xentari entre as populações estudadas. Assim, neste estudo foi identificado populações da traça-das-crucíferas com significativos níveis de resistência a formulações comercias de B. thuringiensis.

Abstract:

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), is an important pest of cruciferous crops worldwide. The prolonged use of synthetic chemical insecticides as a primary means of control has resulted in the development of resistance in pest populations. In addition, the pest has also evolved resistance to the bacterial insecticidal protein of Bacillus thuringiensis which is also widely used as a method of control. Baculoviruses are considered as effective alternatives to conventional methods of control when incorporated into integrated pest management (IPM) programmes. These viruses target the larval stages of insects, are generally host-specific and are safe for use in the environment. This study aimed to isolate a baculovirus from a laboratory-reared P. xylostella colony, characterise it genetically and then evaluate its virulence against neonate and fourth instar larvae. A laboratory colony of P. xylostella was established using pupae and asymptomatic larvae collected from a cabbage plantation outside Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. The colony flourished in the laboratory due to prime conditions and availability of food. The duration of development from egg to adult was determined by observation and imaging of the various life stages. The mean developmental time from egg to adult was observed to be 14.59 ± 0.21 days. The population of the insects increased rapidly in number leading to overcrowding of the insect colony, and hence appearance of larvae with viral symptoms. Occlusion bodies (OBs) were extracted from symptomatic larval cadavers and purified by glycerol gradient centrifugation. Analysis of the purified OBs by transmission electron microscopy revealed the presence of a granulovirus which was named PlxyGV-SA. The virus isolate was genetically characterised by restriction endonuclease analysis of the genomic DNA, and PCR amplification and sequencing of selected viral genes. The complete genome sequence of a Japanese P. xylostella granulovirus isolate, PlxyGV-Japan, has been deposited on the GenBank database providing a reference strain for comparison with DNA profiles and selected gene sequences of PlxyGV-SA. BLAST analysis of the granulin gene confirmed the isolation of a novel South African PlxyGV isolate. Comparison of the restriction profiles of PlxyGV-SA with profiles of PlxyGV-Japan and other documented PlxyGV profiles obtained by agarose gel electrophoresis revealed that PlxyGV-SA is a genetically distinct isolate. The data obtained from the sequencing and alignment of ecdysteroid UDP-glucosyltransferase (egt), late expression factor 8 (lef-8) and late expression factor 9 (lef-9) genes with those of PlxyGV-Japan also showed that PlxyGV-SA is a genetically different isolate. In order to determine the biological activity of PlxyGV-SA against neonate and fourth instar P. xylostella larvae, surface dose bioassays were conducted. The median lethal concentration of the virus required to kill 50% (LC₅₀) and 90% (LC₉₀) of the larvae was estimated by feeding insects with a range of doses. In addition, the time to kill 50% of the larvae (LT₅₀) was determined by feeding insects with the LC₉₀ concentration. Larval mortality was monitored daily until pupation. The data obtained from the dose response assays were subjected to probit analysis using Proban statistical software. The time response was determined using GraphPad Prism software (version 6.0). The LC₅₀ and LC₉₀ values for the neonate larvae were 3.56 × 10⁵ and 1.14 × 10⁷ OBs/ml respectively. The LT₅₀ was determined to be 104 hours. The neonate larvae were found to be more susceptible to infection than the fourth instar larvae with the same virus concentration. The concentrations used for the neonate larvae assay did not have a significant effect on the fourth instar as no mortality was recorded. This is the first study to describe a novel South African PlxyGV isolate and the results suggest that PlxyGV-SA has significant potential for development as an effective biopesticide for the control of P. xylostella in the field.

Abstract:

The seasonal abundance of the imported cabbageworm, Artogeia rapae (L.)), cabbage looper Trichoplusia ni (Hubner)) and diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella (L.)) was determined in 1982 to 1984 on cabbage in southwest Virginia. The imported cabbageworm was the most important pest. It had one and a partial second generation in 1982 and 1983, and two and a partial third generation in 1984. Market Prize and Green Winter varieties had lower A. rapae infestations than Abbott & Cobb #5 or Rio Verde. Two generations of the diamondback moth, which preferentially fed on cabbage leaves versus heads, were seen in 1983 and 1984. Diadegma insularis (Meus.) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) parasitized 46% and 69% of the diamondback moth in 1983 and 1984, respectively. Higher parasitization of P. xylostella was found in pupae collected from Abbott & Cobb #5. Two generations of the cabbage looper were seen in 1983 and a single generation in 1984. Pteromalus puparum (L.) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) parasitized 64.1% and 32.5% of imported cabbageworm pupae in 1983 and 1984; parasitism was most pronounced in the latter part of the season. High percentages of parasites successfully emerged as adults, indicating efficient host utilization. Most parasite mortality within the host occurred in the larval stage; mean adult parasite emergence per host for 1983 and 1984 was 52.3 with a 1:1 sex ratio. P. puparum parasitized either host sex, producing equal proportions of male and female parasites. Adult female P. puparum were not adversely affected by residues of methomyl (Lannate®), permethrin (Pounce®) and fenvalarate (Pydrin®), but males showed significantly higher mortality than controls following exposure to methomyl after 12 h, and methomyl and permethrin after six days. adults were successfully refrigerated for up to 15 days at 3°C in individual gelatin capsules. Survival beyond 15 days was better at l5°C and 23°C. A. rapae larvae could be reared at densities of 30 to 60 larvae per 70±10 g on a high wheat germ artificial diet. Pupae from the lowest density were larger in length and weight than those reared at the two higher densities, and all laboratory-reared pupae were smaller than either normal or parasitized field pupae.

O conteúdo das subclasses estudadas para o gene cry1 foi determinado para 58 isolados, o que representa 60% do total. Dentre os 95 isolados estudados, 27,4% demonstraram que o conjunto gênico cry1Aa, cry1Ca, cry1Da, cry1Fa e cry1Bd é a freqüência mais comum. Dos 58 isolados testados, 11 causaram mortalidade total das lagartas e os demais influenciaram negativamente o ciclo biológico da praga. Dentre as características avaliadas, a mortalidade larval e a pupal, bem como a duração larval foram as mais relevantes para se determinar quais isolados influenciaram a biologia da praga. Portanto, os isolados que causaram 100% de mortalidade larval têm grande potencial para formulação de produtos comerciais a serem utilizados em programas de manejo integrado de P. xylostella.

The aim of this study was to detect possible differences among populations of Plutella xylostella (PX, PA, PC and PJ), from three Brazilian states that produce brassicaceas, and to evaluate the susceptibility and sublethal effects of these populations to Bacillus thuringiensis bioinsecticides and strains. We used the methods of COI gene sequencing and ISSR-PCR to analyze the genetic structure of the populations. To evaluate the susceptibility and sublethal effects, isolates 153.30A, 49.19A, T08.024, E7, E28, E47, 41.7L, 20.7L, HD-1 and Bt tenebrionis and products Btt090®, Dipel®, Agree® and Xentari® were sprayed on 8-cm-diameter kale leaf discs. After drying, the leaf disks were offered to fed second instar caterpillars of P. xylostella from each population, in Petri dishes. The pupae were placed in separated wells plates with Elisa ® until adult emergence. The adults were separated into couples and transferred to cages for oviposition. We observed the insects until the adults death, evaluating: larval and pupal viability and period, leaf consumption, pupal weight, sex ratio, longevity, number of eggs/female/day, incubation period and egg viability. Products/strains that caused mortality exceeding 80% were used to estimate the values of LC50. The populations showed differences in genetic structures, being PJ the most different one. Agree®, Dipel®, Xentari®, and the isolates 49.19A, E47 and HD1 caused 100% mortality for all populations. Generally, HD1 and Dipel® were the most toxic among products and strains, due to lower LC50. The isolates T08.024 and E28 were the ones that most affected negatively the biological characteristics of the pest, despite they didn’t cause 100% of mortality...

Abstract: The aim of this study was to detect possible differences among populations of Plutella xylostella (PX, PA, PC and PJ), from three Brazilian states that produce brassicaceas, and to evaluate the susceptibility and sublethal effects of these populations to Bacillus thuringiensis bioinsecticides and strains. We used the methods of COI gene sequencing and ISSR-PCR to analyze the genetic structure of the populations. To evaluate the susceptibility and sublethal effects, isolates 153.30A, 49.19A, T08.024, E7, E28, E47, 41.7L, 20.7L, HD-1 and Bt tenebrionis and products Btt090®, Dipel®, Agree® and Xentari® were sprayed on 8-cm-diameter kale leaf discs. After drying, the leaf disks were offered to fed second instar caterpillars of P. xylostella from each population, in Petri dishes. The pupae were placed in separated wells plates with Elisa ® until adult emergence. The adults were separated into couples and transferred to cages for oviposition. We observed the insects until the adults death, evaluating: larval and pupal viability and period, leaf consumption, pupal weight, sex ratio, longevity, number of eggs/female/day, incubation period and egg viability. Products/strains that caused mortality exceeding 80% were used to estimate the values of LC50. The populations showed differences in genetic structures, being PJ the most different one. Agree®, Dipel®, Xentari®, and the isolates 49.19A, E47 and HD1 caused 100% mortality for all populations. Generally, HD1 and Dipel® were the most toxic among products and strains, due to lower LC50. The isolates T08.024 and E28 were the ones that most affected negatively the biological characteristics of the pest, despite they didn't cause 100% of mortality...

The Plutella xylostella is a recurring pest on cruciferous crops around the world. The susceptibility of diamondback moth populations to the insecticides abamectin, deltamethrin, and spinosad, from three Brazilian regions was compared through collard leaf dipping bioassays in laboratory for the different treatments. Mortality data were assessed 48 hours after exposition to every insecticide and submitted to Probit analysis. All the populations showed significant resistance to at least one of the insecticides. The Bonito-PE population showed the highest resistance ratio (20.2 times) to abamectin when compared with the susceptible population and to other insecticides. The deltamethrin LC50s were very high for all the populations tested, ranging from 85.2 to 360.1 mg/L. All the populations from Pernambuco State were considered resistant to deltamethrin, with resistance ratios varying from 2.2 to 4.2 times. Five populations showed significant resistance to spinosad with ratios varying from 2.3 to 5.1. These results are discussed based on the spectrum of insecticides used in the regions. In conclusion, the need of resistance toinsecticides management programs for P. xylostella in conjunction with an integrated pest management is urgent in these regions.
A Plutella xylostella destaca-se como o inseto de maior importância devido aos sérios danos causados à cultura das brássicas. A suscetibilidade de populações de traça-das-crucíferas aos inseticidas abamectina, deltametrina e espinosade, provenientes de três regiões brasileiras, foram comparadas através de bioensaios com imersão de folhas de couve. A mortalidade foi avaliada após 48 horas de exposição aos inseticidas e os dados foram submetidos à análise de Probit. Os resultados demonstraram que sete populações de traça-das-crucíferas apresentaram significativa resistência a um ou mais inseticidas. A população de Bonito-PE apresentou a maior razão de toxicidade (20,2 vezes) ao abamectina quando comparados com a população suscetível. As CL50s para deltametrina foram altas para as populações de traça-das-crucíferas, variando de 85,2 a 360,1 mg/L do inseticida. Todas as populações do Estado de Pernambuco foram consideradas resistentes ao deltametrina, apresentando razões de toxicidade variando entre 2,2 e 4,2 vezes. Cinco populações apresentaram moderada resistência ao espinosade com níveis de resistência variando de 2,3 a 5,1. Assim, a necessidade de desenvolvimento de programas de manejo de resistência de P. xylostella a inseticidas associados ao manejo integrado de pragas torna-se evidente nestas regiões produtoras de brássicas.

Abstract:

Plutella xylostella, commonly known as diamondback moth, causes great damages in collard greens and broccolis crops of Itabaiana municipality in Sergipe State-BR. Alternative control techniques are being researcher s goals because the intensive use of chemicals has enhancing resistance problems, intoxication of workers, beside the pollution of environment and residues in the products, making difficult their commercialization. Entomogenous fungi have been used widespread in biological control of agriculture pests and have a remarkable role among micro-organisms as an alternative method to control the moth. This work aims to evaluate the pathogenicity of ten isolates of Beauveria and Paecilomyces, from different research institutions, on diamondback moth and also to identify and quantify extra cell enzyme patterns made by the mentioned fungi. The rearing of the moths will be at lab conditions starting from young crawlers and pupae picked up in field crops of collard and broccolis. The enzyme activities will be evaluated in extra cell fluids filtrated from entomogenous fungi reared in aqueous medium. The results obtained from the bioassays will give contribution in the identification of the most efficient genera or isolates to be used in IPM of diamondback moth. Moreover, it is expected that the relationship pathogenicity x enzyme activity be one other tool to characterizing these micro-organisms.
A traça-das-crucíferas tem causado grandes danos a produtores de couve e brócolis do município de Itabaiana-SE. O uso indiscriminado de agrotóxicos para o controle desta praga tem causado problemas quanto à resistência a determinados ingredientes ativos, além de comprometer a saúde dos aplicadores e o consumo dos produtos pela veiculação de resíduos desses produtos. Os fungos entomopatogênicos são uma alternativa de controle para a traça. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a patogenicidade de fungos entomopatogênicos sobre a traça-das-crucíferas (Plutella xylostella), observando sua interação com a quantificação e tipos de enzimas proteases produzidas pelos isolados. Foi realizado no Laboratório de Controle Biológico da Embrapa Tabuleiros Costeiros usando 9 isolados de Beauveria bassiana e 1 isolado de Paecilomyces fumosoroseus, provenientes de diferentes instituições para o controle da traça-das-crucíferas. Foi realizado um bioensaio, com os 10 isolados em uma mesma concentração (1x108 conídios/ml). Folhas de couve foram banhadas com a solução de conídios dos fungos e oferecidas como alimentação as lagartas. Análises da atividade enzimática de duas proteases degradadoras de cutícula, Pr1 e Pr2, enzimas relacionadas diretamente com o processo de infecção do inseto pelo patógeno foram realizadas no Laboratório de Enzimologia da Universidade Federal de Sergipe. Os isolados 447© e 1213 apresentaram as maiores médias de mortalidade, sendo o 447© o mais virulento. Não foi confirmada uma correlação entre patogenicidade e atividadade enzimática para os isolados de fungos entomopatogênicos estudados. Este resultado não contradiz a influencia da atividade enzimática no processo de infecção e patogenicidade destes microrganismos, porém, confirma o quanto é complexo o estudo desta relação na interação patógeno hospedeiro. Os períodos de avaliação de 96 e 144 horas apresentaram os maiores valores de atividade para as duas enzimas avaliadas, coincidindo com o período de maior número de lagartas mortas.

Abstract:

Our research program aimed to select the parasitoid the best adapted to control the diamondback moth in cauliflower greenhouses. First, we compared, in the laboratory, the parasitic efficacy of thirty, indigenous and exotics, Trichogrammatidae strains on P. Xylostella eggs, and in parallel, on Ephestia kuehniella Zeller eggs (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) in glass tubes. The sixteen best strains (parasitizing more than 30% of P. Xylostella eggs) together with two indigenous strains were tested in a greenhouse, on cauliflowers infested by P. Xylostella eggs. Nine strains parasitized more than 60% of P. Xylostella eggs. The biological potential of these strains (fecundity, offspring emergence and offspring sex-ratio, mortality) was determined in laboratory and their dispersal was measured in greenhouse. For all considered factors, the best biological potential was obtained for strain T. Cheloni, T. Evanescens and T. Ostriniae.

Abstract:

Plutella xylostella (L. ) (Lepidoptera : Plutellidae) est un ravageur important des cultures de Brassicacées dans le monde. Les problèmes pour lutter contre les populations de ce ravageur sont essentiellement liés à des résistances aux pesticides et à des échecs de la lutte biologique. Des différences morphologiques, biologiques et génétiques ont été étudiées entre des populations mondiales d'origines géographiques différentes. Pour l'étude des différences morphologiques et biologiques, deux paramètres ont été mesurés : la longueur des nymphes et l'activité de ponte des femelles. La longueur des nymphes et la fécondité sont variables au sein des populations et entre elles. La répartition des œufs au cours de la période de ponte permet de différencier les populations en deux groupes, liés aux régions tropicales et sub-tropicales et aux régions tempérées. L'adaptation locale des populations est discutée. Pour l'étude des différences génétiques, deux marqueurs ont été utilisés : les allozymes et les séquences nucléotidiques d'un fragment du gène mitochondrial du cytochrome oxydase I. La variabilité génétique est relativement importante au sein de P. Xylostella. Les fréquences allèliques des enzymes montrent des déficits d'hétérozygotes dans de nombreuses populations. Les populations les plus différenciées sont celles du Japon et d'Australie. L'analyse des haplotypes mitochondriaux montre que des groupes de populations se différencient d'un groupe principal. Certains groupes correspondent à une zone géographique, ce sont les populations d'Australie ou d'Amérique du Sud. Un troisième groupe est constitué de populations de différentes régions. Les processus de différenciation sont discutés
Plutella xylostella (L. ) (Lepidoptera : Plutellidae) is a major pest of brassica crops worldwide. Problems to control pest's populations are mainly related to pesticides resistance and failure of biological control methods. Morphological, biological and genetic differences were assessed among world populations with different geographic origins. In the study of the morphological and biological differences, two parameters were measured: pupae size and females oviposition activity. The size of pupae and the fecundity were variable within and among populations. The distribution of the eggs laid during the laying period allowed differentiating populations in two groups, related to tropical or sub-tropical areas and to temperate areas. The local adaptation of the populations was discussed. In the study of genetic differences, two markers were used: allozymes and nucleotidic sequences of a part of cytochrome oxydase I mitochondrial gene. The genetic variability was relatively high in P. Ylostella species. The enzymes allelic frequencies exhibited heterozygotes deficits in a majority of the populations. Populations the most different were from Japan and Australia. Analysis of mitochondrial haplotypes exhibited the differentiation of groups of populations from a major group. Two groups were related to geographic areas: populations from Australia or South America. A third group consist of populations from different regions. The mechanisms of differentiation were discussed

Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), a traça-das-crucíferas, é um dos principais insetos-praga de crucíferas (Brassicaceae) no Brasil e em todo o mundo. Embora possa ser controlada tanto com inseticidas sintéticos como biológicos, populações de P. xylostella podem ser selecionadas rapidamente para a resistência a vários inseticidas químicos ou biológicos. Além disso, diferentes populações de P. xylostella podem surgir devido ao isolamento geográfico, resultando em isolamento reprodutivo e em populações fisiologicamente distintas, com diferentes sensibilidades a várias táticas de controle. Tal variação requer sistemas de gestão adaptados às populações em particular. Os bioinseticidas mais comuns utilizados para controlar P. xylostella baseiam-se na bactéria entomopatogênica Bacillus thuringiensis (Bacillaceae) (Bt). Apesar de muitos estudos focarem a ação do Bt em diversas pragas agrícolas, como P. xylostella, por exemplo, muitas dúvidas ainda persistem particularmente quanto aos seus efeitos subletais, mecanismo de ação e toxicidade das proteínas Bt. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a virulência e os efeitos subletais de proteínas Cry, bem como investigar fatores que afetam a suscetibilidade de insetos ao Bt (níveis de proteína, bactérias do intestino médio e mutações no gene ABCC2) em cinco populações brasileiras e uma da Inglaterra de P. xylostella. Foram realizados bioensaios de suscetibilidade com 5 populações brasileiras (PC, PA, Px, SBT e Bt) e uma da Inglaterra (UK) de P.xylostella e as proteínas Cry1Ac, Cry2Aa e Cry1IE de B. thuringiensis, estimando-se a virulência e avaliando os efeitos subletais das toxinas. Como as toxinas Cry2Aa e Cry1IE não causaram mortalidade nas lagartas de todas as populações, os testes foram realizados apenas com Cry1AC. Também foram conduzidos experimentos enzimáticos e ...
Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus , 1758) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), diamonback moth, is a major insect pest of crucifers (Brassicaceae) in Brazil and worldwide. Although it can be controlled with synthetic insecticides such as biological products, populations of P. xylostella can be quickly selected for resistance to several chemical or biological insecticides. In addition, different populations of P. xylostella may arise due to geographic isolation, resulting in reproductive isolation and physiologically distinct populations with different sensitivities to various control tactics. This variation requires management systems tailored to particular populations. The most common insecticides used to control P. xylostella based on entomopathogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bacillaceae) (Bt). Although many studies focus on the action way of Bt to several agricultural pests such as P. xylostella, for example, many doubts still persist particularly regarding their sublethal effects, mechanism of action and toxicity of Bt proteins. The objective of this research was to analyze the virulence and sublethal effects of Cry proteins, as well investigate factors affecting the susceptibility of Diamondback to Bt (protein level, the midgut bacteria and mutations in the ABCC2 gene) in five Brazilian populations and one population from England. Susceptibility bioassays with 5 Brazilian populations (PC, PA, PX, SBT and Bt) and one from England (UK) of P. xylostella and Cry1Ac, Cry2Aa, and Cry1IE Bt toxins were performed by estimating its virulence and sublethal effects. How Cry2Aa Cry1IE toxins did not cause larvae mortality for all populations, tests were performed just with Cry1Ac. Enzymatic and molecular experiments with the larvae guts were also performed to investigate the factors that affecting the susceptibility of insects to toxins produced by Bt. In those bioassays were analyzed total protein, the ...

Abstract: Orius insidiosus is a generalist specie, which makes it suitable to explore the ecosystem. The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, is a major pest of Brassicaceae and can cause total destruction to the culture. This study aimed at obtaining information about O. insidiosus for use to develop biological control programs of P. xylostella in different varieties of Brassicaceae. We considered the following specific objectives: a) evaluate the development of O. insidiosus; b) to prepare a life table O. insidiosus fed on second instar larvae of P. xylostella reared on different cultivars of Brassicaceae; c) obtain the functional response of O. insidiosus. The rearing of insects (O. insidiosus e P. xylostella) and the experiments were developed in the Laboratory of Insect Biology and Rearing (LBCI), FCAV / UNESP Jaboticabal, under temperature 25 ± 1 ° C, relative humidity of 70 ± 10% and photophase of 12 hours. It was maintained rearing of P. xylostella in the varieties B. oleracea var. acephala (kale), var. italic (broccoli), var. capitata (cabbage) and var. botrytis (cauliflower). Eighty nymphs of first instar were individually placed in Petri dishes to the accompaniment of the nymphal stage. The adults were sexed, mated and kept in Petri dishes for the verification of reproductive traits and longevity. To study the functional response of females were left without feed for 12 hours and individualized in Petri dishes with caterpillars in the densities of 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 per plate for each variety. The production of females (R0), generation time (T), intrinsic rate of increase (rm) and longevity of females were similar. O. insidiosus is able to grow and reproduce preying larvae of the diamondback moth in different cultivars of Brassicaceae.

Resumo: Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), a traça-das-crucíferas, é um dos principais insetos-praga de crucíferas (Brassicaceae) no Brasil e em todo o mundo. Embora possa ser controlada tanto com inseticidas sintéticos como biológicos, populações de P. xylostella podem ser selecionadas rapidamente para a resistência a vários inseticidas químicos ou biológicos. Além disso, diferentes populações de P. xylostella podem surgir devido ao isolamento geográfico, resultando em isolamento reprodutivo e em populações fisiologicamente distintas, com diferentes sensibilidades a várias táticas de controle. Tal variação requer sistemas de gestão adaptados às populações em particular. Os bioinseticidas mais comuns utilizados para controlar P. xylostella baseiam-se na bactéria entomopatogênica Bacillus thuringiensis (Bacillaceae) (Bt). Apesar de muitos estudos focarem a ação do Bt em diversas pragas agrícolas, como P. xylostella, por exemplo, muitas dúvidas ainda persistem particularmente quanto aos seus efeitos subletais, mecanismo de ação e toxicidade das proteínas Bt. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar a virulência e os efeitos subletais de proteínas Cry, bem como investigar fatores que afetam a suscetibilidade de insetos ao Bt (níveis de proteína, bactérias do intestino médio e mutações no gene ABCC2) em cinco populações brasileiras e uma da Inglaterra de P. xylostella. Foram realizados bioensaios de suscetibilidade com 5 populações brasileiras (PC, PA, Px, SBT e Bt) e uma da Inglaterra (UK) de P.xylostella e as proteínas Cry1Ac, Cry2Aa e Cry1IE de B. thuringiensis, estimando-se a virulência e avaliando os efeitos subletais das toxinas. Como as toxinas Cry2Aa e Cry1IE não causaram mortalidade nas lagartas de todas as populações, os testes foram realizados apenas com Cry1AC. Também foram conduzidos experimentos enzimáticos e ...
Abstract: Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus , 1758) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), diamonback moth, is a major insect pest of crucifers (Brassicaceae) in Brazil and worldwide. Although it can be controlled with synthetic insecticides such as biological products, populations of P. xylostella can be quickly selected for resistance to several chemical or biological insecticides. In addition, different populations of P. xylostella may arise due to geographic isolation, resulting in reproductive isolation and physiologically distinct populations with different sensitivities to various control tactics. This variation requires management systems tailored to particular populations. The most common insecticides used to control P. xylostella based on entomopathogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bacillaceae) (Bt). Although many studies focus on the action way of Bt to several agricultural pests such as P. xylostella, for example, many doubts still persist particularly regarding their sublethal effects, mechanism of action and toxicity of Bt proteins. The objective of this research was to analyze the virulence and sublethal effects of Cry proteins, as well investigate factors affecting the susceptibility of Diamondback to Bt (protein level, the midgut bacteria and mutations in the ABCC2 gene) in five Brazilian populations and one population from England. Susceptibility bioassays with 5 Brazilian populations (PC, PA, PX, SBT and Bt) and one from England (UK) of P. xylostella and Cry1Ac, Cry2Aa, and Cry1IE Bt toxins were performed by estimating its virulence and sublethal effects. How Cry2Aa Cry1IE toxins did not cause larvae mortality for all populations, tests were performed just with Cry1Ac. Enzymatic and molecular experiments with the larvae guts were also performed to investigate the factors that affecting the susceptibility of insects to toxins produced by Bt. In those bioassays were analyzed total protein, the ...

This work aimed to study the Hymenoptera parasitoids fauna in organic crops areas and the insecticidal activity of plant extracts from Allamanda cathartica (Apocynaceae) and Coriandrum sativum (Apiaceae) and the latex of Euphorbia milii (Euphorbiaceae) on Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae). During March 2006 to February 2007 twelve samples were performed using Malaise traps in each of the three studied organic crop areas. Immature Lepidoptera were also collected to verify the emergence of parasitoids. A total of 46,231 specimens, identified in 28 families were collected by Malaise trap. The most representative were Braconidae and Ichneumonidae (Ichneumonoidea), Eulophidae, Mymaridae and Pteromalidae (Chalcidoidea), Scelionidae (Platygastroidea) and Figitidae (Cynipoidea). Twenty-two subfamilies of Braconidae were identified, Microgastrinae being the most abundant in the three locations sampled. Seventeen subfamilies of Ichneumonidae were recognized and, in the three farms, the Campopleginae and Cremastinae were the most abundant. The genera Lysiphlebus, Opius, Dolichozele and Aleiodes were the most abundant of the 81 Braconidae genus identified. The results showed that the practice organic farming has positive effects on the abundance, richness and diversity Hymenoptera parasitoids fauna, but the results varied according to taxonomic level used and the type of management performed. The Braconidae and Ichneumonidae (Ichneumonoidea), Eulophidae and Encyrtidae (Chalcidoidea) were the most important parasitoids reared from the immature Lepidoptera hosts. New information on the associations between hosts and parasitoids were obtained for Hypomicrogaster (Braconidae, Microgastrinae) parasitizing larvae of Hellula phidilealis (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae), Eiphosoma (Cremastinae, Ichneumonidae) parasitizing larvae of Diaphania hyalinata (Pyralidae, Lepidoptera) and Colpotrochia (Ichneumonidae, Metopiinae) parasitizing larvae of Spodoptera eridania (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae). The tests performed with different concentrations of Allamanda cathartica and Coriandrum sativum extracts and Euphorbia milii latex affected the larval Plutella xylostella mortality.
Este trabalho teve por objetivos o estudo da fauna de Hymenoptera parasitóides em hortas orgânicas e da atividade inseticida de extratos vegetais de Allamanda cathartica (Apocynaceae) e Coriandrum sativum (Apiaceae) e do látex de Euphorbia milii (Euphorbiaceae) sobre Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae). No período de março de 2006 a fevereiro de 2007 foram realizadas doze amostragens por meio de armadilhas Malaise em cada uma das três hortas orgânicas estudadas. Também foram coletados imaturos de Lepidoptera, mantidos em laboratório para verificar a emergência de parasitóides. Foram coletados 46.231 exemplares de Hymenoptera, identificados em 28 famílias. As mais representativas foram Braconidae e Ichneumonidae (Ichneumonoidea), Eulophidae, Mymaridae e Pteromalidae (Chalcidoidea), Scelionidae (Platygastroidea) e Figitidae (Cynipoidea). Dentre as vinte e duas subfamílias de Braconidae amostradas, Microgastrinae foi a mais abundante nos três locais estudados. Em relação aos Ichneumonidae, dezessete subfamílias foram identificadas e, nas três hortas, Campopleginae e Cremastinae foram as mais abundantes. Foram identificados 81 gêneros de Braconidae, sendo os mais abundantes Lysiphlebus, Opius, Dolichozele e Aleiodes. Os resultados evidenciaram que a prática agrícola orgânica possui efeitos positivos sobre a abundância, riqueza e diversidade da fauna de Hymenoptera parasitóides, porém os resultados variaram de acordo com nível taxonômico utilizado e o tipo de manejo realizado. Dentre os parasitóides emergentes dos lepidópteros coletados, destacaram-se os Braconidae e os Ichneumonidae (Ichneumonoidea), Eulophidae e Encyrtidae (Chalcidoidea). Novas informações sobre as relações entre hospedeiros e parasitóides foram obtidas para Hypomicrogaster (Braconidae, Microgastrinae) parasitando larvas de Hellula phidilealis (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae), Eiphosoma (Cremastinae, Ichneumonidae) parasitando larvas de Diaphania hyalinata (Pyralidae, Lepidoptera) e Colpotrochia (Ichneumonidae, Metopiinae) parasitando larva de Spodoptera eridania (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae). Os testes realizados com diferentes concentrações dos extratos de Allamanda cathartica e Coriandrum sativum e do látex de E. milii afetaram a mortalidade larval de Plutella xylostella.

Abstract:

La culture de Brassicacées est une des productions agricoles les plus importantes au monde. L'un de ses principaux ravageurs est la Teigne des crucifères, Plutella xylostella (Linné, 1758) (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae) dont les chenilles attaquent les feuilles et peuvent causer jusqu'à 90% de perte de production. La lutte contre la teigne est rendue difficile par le développement de résistances envers la quasi-totalité des insecticides existants. Afin de répondre en partie à ce problème, de nombreux moyens de lutte alternatifs ont été mis en place, impliquant principalement des insectes parasitoïdes. Parmi eux, Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjumov, 1912) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) est l'un des plus employés mais son introduction dans certaines régions du monde n'est pas toujours efficace. Les hypothèses le plus souvent avancées mettent en cause des phénomènes de compétition, d'adaptation déficiente du parasitoïde à son nouvel environnement ou encore l'usage simultané d'insecticides, mais les capacités du parasitoïde à reconnaître son hôte n'ont jamais été remises en cause. C'est autour de ce dernier point qu'est axée la problématique de notre travail. Dans un premier temps, à partir d'analyses comportementales, d'analyses chimiques et d'une étude en microscopie électronique à balayage, nous avons pu mettre en évidence trois points importants du système de reconnaissance du parasitoïde envers son hôte. (i) Les femelles de C. Plutellae détectent et reconnaissent leur hôte à partir de leur signature chimique, composée par les lipides cuticulaires. (ii) Le stimulus chimique constituant le signal de reconnaissance est composé de plusieurs molécules appartenant à deux classes de lipides et agissant en synergie. (iii) Ce stimulus est perçu par des sensilles gustatives principalement implantées sur les faces dorsales et latérales des antennes des femelles du parasitoïde. Dans un second temps, l'étude de la variabilité de cette signature chimique entre différentes populations d'hôtes nous a permis de mettre en évidence de très fortes disparités pouvant être à l'origine des différences de parasitisme observées suite à des lâchers de parasitoïdes. .
Brassicaceae crops make up a key vegetable production on a world scale. One of its most destructive pests is the diamondback moth (DBM), Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus, 1758) (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae), whose caterpillars attack leaves and can cause almost 90% crop loss. Resistance toward many insecticides leads to more difficulties for DBM management. Among the numerous alternative control techniques, parasitoids are the most used, Cotesia plutellae (Kurdjumov, 1912) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) being a prime example. However, numerous attempts to introduce it into various areas of the world have often yielded mediocre results. Explanations of these results often involve notions of competition, maladaptation to the new environment and the use of non-selective insecticides. However, the host recognition capacities of the parasitoid have been never questioned. This was the object of the present study. .

Abstract:

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), is a cosmopolitan insect pest of Brassica crops. In South Africa, there are no action thresholds for its chemical control which makes it difficult for growers to make informed decisions on when to apply insecticides and how frequently to apply them in order to achieve optimal crop yield. To contribute towards optimum application of insecticides against P. xylostella, this study compared the impact of weekly and bi-weekly applications of a selective insecticide Dipel® (Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner var. kurstaki) applied at 250 g/ha, and a broad-spectrum insecticide Dichlorvos (an organophosphate) applied at 1 ml/L against biological control (Control) on the pest population density on cabbage during October– December 2011 and March–May 2012. The use of both selective and broad-spectrum insecticides for experiments enables us to understand if efforts to optimise cabbage yield depend mainly on effective suppression of P. xylostella densities. Furthermore, investigations were carried out to determine the impact of these chemicals on parasitism rates of P. xylostella and species richness of its primary parasitoids. During the October–December 2011 growing season, the lowest infestation of P. xylostella occurred on cabbage plots that received weekly application of Dipel and the highest on untreated control plots. Cabbage weights were negatively related to infestation levels, implying that weekly application of Dipel yielded bigger cabbage heads. During March– May 2012, P. xylostella infestations were again higher on the control followed by weekly and bi-weekly treatments of Dichlorvos, then weekly and bi-weekly applications of Dipel. Despite the significant differences observed, infestation levels were much lower (< 1 P. xylostella per plant on average) in all treatments during this season. Consequently no significant differences in cabbage weights were observed among the treatments. The lower infestation levels were attributed to higher parasitism levels (≥50 %), especially during the early stages of crop development. A total of four parasitic Hymenoptera species were recorded from P. xylostella larvae and pupae during October–December 2011, while three species were recorded during March– May 2012. However, Cotesia vestalis (Haliday) (Braconidae) accounted for >80 % of total parasitism levels in all treatments. Parasitism levels were not significantly different among the treatments in both seasons. Parasitoid species richness was highest on the control. Although two parasitoid species were recorded in all Dipel and Dichlorvos treatments during October–December 2011, only one parasitoid species was recorded in the Dipel treatments during March–May 2012 compared to two species in Dichlorvos treatments. Although weekly applications of Dipel ensured good yield and crop quality during October–December, weekly applications of the chemical did not lead to better quality crop during March–May crop growing season. Thus, it is not necessary to apply insecticides during periods in which natural mortality of P. xylostella is high due to parasitoids. Since P. xylostella abundance was a determining factor of crop quality, these results imply that insect pest management should focus mainly on suppressing its numbers. Furthermore, there was no evidence that application of either insecticide type had a negative impact on parasitism rates of P. xylostella. The lower parasitoid species richness on Dipel treated plots was the consequence of its higher efficiency in suppressing the pest population which substantially reduced availability of potential hosts for parasitoids, hence only the efficient C. vestalis was recorded at low host densities

Abstract:

The diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus 1758.) (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), is a major insect pest of Brassica crops in many parts of the world leading to economic losses amounting to an estimated US$ 4-5 billion. Although parasitoids (biological control agents) play a major role in suppressing the pest populations during November – May in South Africa, the pest reaches outbreak status during September and October due to low impact of parasitoids, which has necessitated regular application of insecticides. However, insecticide applications have often resulted in the pest developing resistance, and when coupled with the negative effects of several insecticides on parasitoids, integration of the two pest control strategies for effective management of P. xylostella population density has been difficult to achieve. One approach that has received little attention is integration of host plant resistance (bottom-up effect) and biological control (top-down effect) for effective management of P. xylostella. However, the interaction between host plants, the insect pest, and parasitoids is not simple and straight forward, as strong negative impact of host plants on fitness of the insect pest can be cascaded up the food chain and have a negative impact on a given parasitoid, which in turn may reduce the desired complementary effect between the two pest control strategies. To identify optimal interactions between cabbage (Brassica oleracea L. var. capitata, Brassicaceae), P. xylostella and its larval parasitoid Cotesia vestalis (Haliday 1834) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), this study investigated (i) the effects of seven cabbage cultivars (Empowa, Hollywood F1, Megaton, Leano, Menzania, Beverley Hills and Karabo) on fitness parameters (survival, developmental time, pupal weights, longevity without food and oviposition rates) of P. xylostella; (ii) the influence of the same host plant cultivars on fitness parameters (developmental time, pupal weights, longevity xi without food, fecundity, emergence rate and sex ratio) of C. vestalis. Furthermore, net reproductive rates and the intrinsic rates of natural increase were calculated for C. vestalis that emerged from hosts fed on each of the cultivars. All experiments were conducted in climate-controlled laboratory rooms maintained at 22 ± 1 ºC (mean ± S.D.), 60 ± 5 % RH and 16L: 8D photoperiod. Under the no choice test, overall survival of P. xylostella immature stages was highest on Karabo (67.26%) and lowest on Megaton (44.92%). The larval and pupal developmental period, and generation time was prolonged on Empowa (18.48 days), Karabo (14.64 days) and Beverly Hills (17.48 days), while developmental period on Hollywood F1 (13.79 days) was shortest. Male and female P. xylostella pupal weights were lighter from larvae that fed on Megaton (4.13 and 4.65 mg), Menzania (4.53 and 4.91 mg), and Hollywood F1 (4.11 and 5.08 mg), whereas pupal weights from Karabo (6.0 and 6.82 mg) were the heaviest. Unfed female moths originally reared on Beverley Hills had the highest longevity (5.05 days), whereas those reared on Leano (3.54 days) and Megaton (3.89 days) had the shortest life span. Under the choice-test, P. xylostella moth laid significantly more eggs on Empowa (48.8%) and Hollywood F1 (45.6%) and least on Menzania (11.8%) and Leano (10.6%). Megaton was more resistant to P. xylostella due to lower survival rates of immature stages, lower pupal weights and moth longevity. The generation time of C. vestalis was shortest on Karabo (10.10 days) and Leano (10.38 days), and longest on Megaton (12.57 days) and Empowa (12.80 days). The highest pupal weight of C. vestalis was obtained from parasitoids reared from P. xylostella fed Menzania (5.4 mg), Megaton (5.25 mg) and Beverly Hills (4.85 mg) and the lightest on Karabo (3.8 mg). Parasitoids reared on larvae that fed on Hollywood F1 lived the longest (2.28 days) followed by Menzania (1.94 days) and Beverly Hills (1.8 days), whereas those whose hosts fed on Leano had shortest life span (0.83 days). Despite the parasitoids from Megaton hosts being heavier, their fecundity and number of female progeny per female (16.87 and 3.60, respectively) were lowest. Cotesia vestalis fecundity and daughters produced per female were highest on hosts fed on Menzania (38.00 and 9.13, respectively) and Beverly Hills (32.87 and 9.07, respectively). As a consequence, the net reproductive rate (R0) and intrinsic rate of increase (r) were higher on Menzania (7.87 and 0.58, respectively) and Beverly Hills (8.29 and 0.62, respectively). As survival and overall fitness of P. xylostella was lower on Megaton, this cultivar can play a major role in restricting population growth of this pest and thus generational number of eggs deposited on it during September and October. However, this strong bottom-up effect of Megaton on P. xylostella was cascaded up the food chain, as overall fitness of C. vestalis was lower on hosts developing on it. In contrast, the overall fitness of C. vestalis was higher on hosts that developed on Menzania and Beverly Hills. As these cultivars showed potential to sustain population density of C. vestalis at higher levels, it is also assumed that the period required for the parasitoid to reach the critical density to suppress the host population at a lower average density will be reached quicker than on other cultivars. Thus, their cultivation may improve biological control of P. xylostella during November–May in South Africa
