Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Reproductive and development rates of D. hesperus were higher on E. kuehniella eggs than on potato psyllid nymphs.
- Observation D. hesperus fed on E. kuehniella eggs had an intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm) of 0.078 ± 0.0001.
- Intervention effect In tomato greenhouse cages the predator established and suppressed populations of both pests whether they occurred alone or together.
- Recommendation D. hesperus is a suitable biocontrol agent of these two pests for use in tomato greenhouses.
