PREVISÃO DA EMERGÊNCIA DE Trissolcus brochymenae (ASHMEAD) E Telenomus podisi ASHMEAD (HYMENOPTERA: SCELIONIDAE) EM CONDIÇÕES DE CAMPO

Abstract

The present study was carried out to predict in the field, the emergence of Trissolcus brochymenae (Ashmead) and Telenomus podisi Ashmead, egg parasitoids of Piezodorus guildinii (West.), using a degree-day method. The total emergence of T. brochymenae and T. podisi was observed after the accumulation of 211.2 degree-day and 229 degree-day, respectively. The accuracy in the prediction of more than 50% of the emergence of T. brochymenae was better than for T. podisi , and for both species that emergence occurred 2-3 days before predicted date.
