ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Tuta absoluta is an invasive alien species that has caused major losses in the Chinese tomato industry. Investigating the growth, development, reproduction and pest control effects of three native species of Trichogramma species on the eggs of T. absoluta could provide an ecological tool for preventing and controlling T. absoluta in China. In this study, we constructed age-stage two-sex life tables for three common species of Trichogramma and determined their relative abilities to control T. absoluta in greenhouse insect cages, thus allowing us to identify the species with the most effective ability to prey on T. absoluta eggs.

RESULTS:

Analysis showed that the net reproductive rate (R0), gross reproduction rate (GRR) and intrinsic rate of increase (r) of Trichogramma ostriniae were the highest of the three species at 22.85, 32.58 and 1.31, respectively. In the presence of 10 eggs and under ideal conditions, T. ostriniae, Trichogramma chilonis, and Trichogramma dendrolimi produced 9451.04, 5199.56, and 1902.95 offspring, respectively. Following the release of T. ostriniae, tomato leaves incurred a damage index of 1 after the first week, while the number of T. absoluta reduced to 24.60 individuals by week 10 (8.75% of the control treatment).

CONCLUSION:

Of the three species of Trichogramma tested in this study, T. ostriniae exhibited the best growth, development, reproductive capacity and predatory ability against T. absoluta, and has broad application prospects. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
