Determining the Effectiveness of Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) and Trichogramma evanescens Westwood in Biological Control of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick)

Abstract

The study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of native species parasitoid, Trichogramma evanescens Westwood and predator, Nesidiocoris tenuis(Reuter) in biological control of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), detected our country in 2009 and located main pest on tomato greenhouse, in the periods of September 2011-April 2012. There were four treatments. These are: 1. Releasing of T. evanescens (T), 2. Releasing of N. tenuis (N), 3. Releasing of T.evanescens combined with N. tenuis (T+N) and 4. Control (C). Experiment was established as a randomized complete block design with three replications, and sampling was made once a week. The decrease rate of egg number of pest was 51.79 %, 47.80 % and 79.68 % in the plots T, N and T+N, respectively, the decrease rate of larva was 50.27 %, 37.77 % and 78.53 % in T, N and T+N plots, respectively. The egg parasitization rate varies between 57.85 % and 59.25 %. The infestation rate of fruits were 11 %, 13 % and 4 % in the plots released egg parasitoid, predatory mirid and combined together, respectively, although 77 % was in the control plot. In conclusion, promising results were obtained in biological control of T. absoluta when Trichogramma releases were combined with N. tenuis rather than releases of separately alone.
