摘要: An omnivore shows preference to its preys and thus its control efficiency could be altered in different mix infestation system. The efficiency of Orius insidiosus for biocontrol of either Frankliniella occidentalis or Tetranychus urticae alone or for the two pests in combinations was studied on beans. When only mites or thrips were offered as prey, 1 or 2 O. insidiostis could considerably suppress pest populations at an initial density of 20, 40, and 80 adult female mites, and 100 and 160 thrips larvae, respectively. A single O. insidiosits was able to reduce mite populations by 52.9, 38.7, and 25.8% at initial densities of 20, 40, and 80 mites, respectively, two bugs achieved control levels of 60.6, 63.1, and 38.4%. Releases of 1 and 2 O. insidiosus resulted in corrected mortalities of 62.5 and 87.9%, and 46.3 and 71.9% in F. occidentalis at initial larval densities of 100 and 160, respectively. When two pests were simultaneously offered, the efficiency of O. insidiosits in controlling T urticae markedly decreased. Furthermore, mite control decreased with increasing T urticae densities and was also affected by the density of O. insidiosits. The presence of mites at initial densities of 20-80 females did not significantly influence thrips control by O. insidiosus. The presence of F occidentalis resulted in higher oviposition by O. insidiosits females than the presence of mites, indicating that thrips are a more suitable resource than T urticae for O. insidiosits. The implications for biocontrol of F occidentalis and T urticae are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
