 es Evaluación de diferentes especies de Trichogramma check for this species in other resources spp. para el control de Helicoverpa zea check for this species in other resources (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Resumen

El cultivo del maíz ( Zea mays check for this species in other resources L.) es dañado anualmente por larvas del gusano del choclo, Helicoverpa zea check for this species in other resources (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Se realizaron dos estudios con el objeto de definir la especie de Trichogramma check for this species in other resources más adecuada para el control del gusano del choclo. En laboratorio se comparó el parasitismo de T. nerudai, T. maidis, T. evanescens, T. cacoeciae, T. pretiosum (raza 1) y T. pretiosum (raza 2), sobre huevos de H. zea, Sitotroga cerealella check for this species in other resources y Anagasta kuehniella check for this species in other resources , evaluando el porcentaje de parasitismo a los siete días de exposición. La especie nativa T. nerudai resultó con igual o superior eficiencia de parasitación que las especies introducidas, por lo cual se seleccionó para el ensayo de campo. En el campo se evaluó el efecto de cuatro densidades de liberación 200.000; 400.000; 800.000 y 1.600.000 huevos parasitados ha-1 de la especie nativa T. nerudai sobre H. zea en el cultivo del maíz. Con la mayor densidad de liberación, el daño se redujo en valores cercanos al 20%, comparada con el testigo que tuvo un 90,5% de daño El uso de Trichogramma se presenta como una alternativa efectiva en el control de esta plaga.

Palabras-clave

Abstract

Corn ( Zea mays check for this species in other resources L.) crops are damaged every year by corn earworm Helicoverpa zea check for this species in other resources (Boddie) larvae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Two studies were carried out with the objective of defining the most adequate Trichogramma check for this species in other resources species to control the corn earworm. In the laboratory Trichogramma nerudai check for this species in other resources , T. maidis, T. evanescens, T. cacoeciae, T. pretiosum (strain 1) and T. pretiosum (strain 2) parasitism rates were compared on H. zea, Sitotroga cerealella check for this species in other resources and Anagasta kuehniella check for this species in other resources eggs evaluating the percentage of parasitism at seven days after exposition. Native T. nerudai was effective or superior to the imported species, and it was, therefore, selected for field trials. The remaining tested Trichogramma species were less effective. In the field experiments the effect of four densities (200 000, 400 000, 800 000 and 1 600 000 parasitized eggs ha-1) of the native T. nerudai was evaluated in a commercial corn crop. The corn earworm damage was reduced to close to 20% with the highest Trichogramma density as compared with 90.5% produced in the control treatment. Trichogramma was an effective parasitoid alternative for control of this pest.
