This study was conducted to determine the host stage preference of the parasitoid, Aenasius arizonensis Girault (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), on Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). No-choice and choice experiments were carried out. There was approximately 30% parasitism of the third nymphal stage and more than 70% parasitism of female adults. This parasitoid does not parasite the first and second nymphal stage of P. solenopsis because these stages are smaller and more mobile than the third nymphal stage and adult females.

Aenasius arizonensis Girault (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae)’in Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae)’i parazitlemede tercih ettiği biyolojik dönemlerin belirlenmesi

Phenacoccus
solenopsis Tinsley
(Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae)’in etkili parazitoiti olan Aenasius arizonensis Girault (Hymenmoptera: Encyrtidae)’in
konukçusunu parazitlemede hangi biyolojik dönemlerini tercih ettiğini
belirlemek amacıyla Seçimsiz (No-choice) ve Seçilimli (Choice) olarak denemeler
kurulmuştur. Sonuç olarak; A. arizonensis’
in seçimsiz ve seçimli olarak yürütülen her iki denemede de P. solenopsis‘in üçüncü nimf
dönemini % 30’un üzerinde, ergin dişilerini %70’in üzerinde parazitlediği
saptanmıştır. A. arizonensis ‘in konukçusunun birinici ve ikinci nimf
dönemlerini, hareketli ve daha küçük yapıda olmaları nedeniyle tercih etmediği
tespit edilmiştir.
