| impact of peach extrafloral nectar on key biological characteristics of trichogramma minutum (hymenoptera: trichogrammatidae). | this study investigated the longevity, fecundity, and host feeding of a wild and a commercially reared strain of trichogramma minutum riley (hymenoptera: trichogrammatidae) when presented with peach extrafloral nectar. both the wild and commercial t. minutum strains lived longer and parasitized more grapholita molesta (busck) eggs when provided peach extrafloral nectar and water than when provided only water. nectar-fed wild and commercially reared females lived 11.6 and 9.9 d and produced 105.2 ... | 2004 | 15279254 |
| do trichogramma minutum riley and trichogramma bennetti nagaraja & nagarkatti (hymenoptera: trichogrammatidae) occur in brazil? | according to some catalogues, trichogramma minutum and t. bennetti have been recorded in brazil. however, the information obtained in studies with trichogramma in recent years indicate that those species do not occur in brazil. | 2007 | 17420873 |

| activity of broad-spectrum and reduced-risk insecticides on various life stages of cranberry fruitworm (lepidoptera: pyralidae) in highbush blueberry. | laboratory and semifield bioassays were conducted to determine the life-stage activity of insecticides for controlling cranberry fruitworm, acrobasis vaccinii riley (lepidoptera: pyralidae), a key lepidopteran pest of highbush blueberry, vaccinium corymbosum l. the organophosphates azinphosmethyl and phosmet, the pyrethroid esfenvalerate, and the carbamate methomyl were lethal to all life stages. the neonicotinoids thiacloprid and acetamiprid demonstrated strong larvicidal and ovicidal activity ... | 2010 | 21061972 |
| Interactions Between Extrafloral Nectaries, Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), and Other Natural Enemies Affect Biological Control of Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) on Peach (Rosales: Rosaceae). | Extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) are reported to benefit some plants when ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) use their secretions and fend off herbivores, but in some cases resulting competitive interactions may reduce biological control of specific herbivores. This research examined the interactions between ants and other natural enemies associated with the EFNs of peach [Prunus persica (L.) Batcsh] and the implications for biological control of a key pest, the oriental fruit moth [Grapholita molesta ... | 2011 | 22182610 |
