ABSTRACT
The peanut thrips, Enneothrips enigmaticus (Thysanoptera Thrypidae), is an important pest of the peanut (Arachis hypogaea) in South America. Due to concerns about the environment and human health induced by the extensive use of pesticides in the management control of pests, environmentally and friendlier tactics must be targeted. Thus, this study investigates, for the first time, the behavior of Xylocoris sordidus (Hemiptera Anthocoridae) as a biological control agent for E. enigmaticus. The methodology included no-choice tests to assess whether the predation rate varies according to the developmental stage of the prey, as well as the predator's developmental stage with the highest predation capacity. Additionally, an analysis of the functional response of adult and 5th instar nymphs of X. sordidus exposed to different densities of E. enigmaticus nymphs (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32) was conducted. The results confirm the predation of peanut thrips by X. sordidus, with a higher predation rate in the nymphal stages of the prey. There was no difference in predation capacity between predator nymphs and adults, and exhibiting a type II functional response. Therefore, the potential of X. sordidus as a biological control agent for E. enigmaticus is confirmed, showing the importance of adopting measures to preserve this predator in peanut crops.
