Parasitism of tomato fruitworm larvae in process tomatoes at Pukekohe
G.P Walker; T.J.B. Herman; M.S. Qureshi; et al. Proceedings of the New Zealand Weed Control Conference 2005. doi:10.30843/nzpp.2005.58.4277
Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Parasitism caused 75% total mortality of tomato fruitworm larvae
- Observation Meteorus pulchricornis was the dominant parasitoid, reared from 54 parasitised larvae
- Observation Cotesia kazak was reared from 33 parasitised larvae
- Association Cotesia kazak attacked smaller larvae than the other two parasitoid species
- Observation Cotesia kazak survived late in the crop in the presence of the entomopathogenic fungus Zoophthora radicans
- Association Cotesia kazak was very dominant in Hawkes Bay, in contrast with Pukekohe
- Mechanism Alternative hosts in areas like Pukekohe are causing the displacement of Cotesia kazak
- Observation The displacement of C kazak has little impact on biocontrol of the pest in tomatoes
