摘要: Some host-feeding whitefly parasitoids by starving for a certain period of time before release may kill more hosts. Here, we compared the host-feeding and parasitic behaviors on third-instar nymphs of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) between starved and un-starved (newly-emerged) Encarsia sophia (Girault and Dodd). The results showed that the time from release to finding the first host used for host feeding and parasitism by un-starved females was 5.7 and 2.8 times longer than by starved females, respectively. The un-starved females had a significantly longer handling time (1151.9 s) to kill one host through parasitism than starved females (271.9 s). The results suggest that starved parasitoids are more effective biological control agents: they locate and kill their hosts more quickly than do un-starved parasitoids, and kill more hosts using the saved time.
