Biological control of Ecdytolopha aurantiana (Lima, 1927) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) with Trichogramma atopovirilia Oatman & Platner, 1983

Mariuxi Lorena Gómez Torres, mltorres@esalq.usp.br and José Roberto Postali Parra, diretor@esalq.usp.br. University of São Paulo (ESALQ/USP), Department of Entomology, Av. Pádua Dias, 11, Piracicaba, São Paulo, Brazil

Based on strain selection, behavior, release and parasitism evaluation studies including 32P radioisotope marked, one aimed at verifying in laboratory and field the more efficient Trichogramma species to control Ecdytolopha aurantiana (Lima, 1927). T. atopovirilia is the species with higher potential to control the pest. Under field conditions, the number of parasitoids to be released was variable, depending on the time of the year.



Species 1: Lepidoptera Tortricidae Ecdytolopha aurantiana (citrus fruit borer)
Species 2: Hymenoptera Trichogrammatidae Trichogramma atopovirilia (Trichogramma)
Keywords: Biological control, egg parasitoid
