<p class="Corpoica">Múltiples estudios han mostrado los beneficios ambientales, económicos y productivos que se pueden generar al incluir vegetación natural en los márgenes de los cultivos. Esto se debe principalmente a que la presencia de hábitats naturales favorece factores bióticos y abióticos que pueden afectar negativamente las plagas. Con base en lo anterior, esta investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar y comparar el efecto de márgenes compuestos por plantaciones de palma de aceite y bosques de galería sobre el control biológico natural de <em>Spodoptera frugiperda </em>en cultivos de arroz. Para esto, se seleccionó un área de estudio en el piedemonte llanero colombiano (Villanueva, Casanare), compuesta por grandes extensiones de cultivos de arroz rodeados por plantaciones de palma de aceite y bosques de galería. Se evaluó la abundancia de <em>S. frugiperda </em>en estados de larva y adulto, el parasitismo de huevos y larvas, y la diversidad de enemigos naturales y de otros artrópodos. Se observó aumento en la presencia de insectos benéficos y disminución de la población de la plaga en los estadios de larva y adulto en cercanías a los márgenes. Se identificó la importancia de parasitoides como <em>Apanteles marginiventris </em>y depredadores, en especial correspondientes al orden Odonata para el control natural de <em>S. frugiperda</em>. Se encontró que tanto las plantaciones de palma de aceite como los bosques de galería promueven el control biológico natural de <em>S. frugiperda</em>; sin embargo, aspectos como la baja calidad del hábitat y la aplicación constante de insumos químicos afectaron los resultados significativamente<em>.</em></p><p class="Corpoica"><em> </em></p><p class="Corpoica"><strong>Incidence of the margins on the natural biological control of </strong><strong><em>Spodoptera frugiperda </em></strong><strong>(J.

Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in rice crops</strong></p><p class="Corpoica">Multiple researches have shown the environmental, economic and productive benefits that can be generated when including natural vegetation in the margins of the crops. This happens thanks to the presence of natural habitats, which are the ones that promote biotic factors such as natural enemies and abiotic ones as temperature, humidity o rain that can affect negatively the pests. The objective of this research was to evaluate and compare the effect of other natural systems present at the same landscape such as crop of oil palm and gallery forests over the natural biological control of <em>Spodoptera frugiperda </em>in growing areas of rice. For this purpose, an area of study was selected at the Colombian plain foothills (Villanueva, Casanare), a place that is characterized for having big extensions of rice, surrounded by oil palms plantations and gallery forests. The abundance of <em>S. frugiperda </em>in the stages of larva and imago was evaluated, as well as the parasitism of eggs and larvae and the diversity of natural enemies and other arthropods. It was found that plantations of oil palm, as the gallery forests promote the natural biological control of <em>S. frugiperda </em>by increasing the diversity of the natural enemies and reduction of the pest population in the borders of the crop. The importance of parasitoids as <em>Apanteles marginiventris </em>and predators of the order Odonata in the control of <em>S. frugiperda </em>was identified. It is highlighted the importance to associate perennial crops as oil palm with transitory crops as rice in the planning of agroecosystems on the region and promote the conservation of gallery forest, as long as they can become key factors in the natural biological control of pests. Nevertheless, aspects as the low quality of the habitat and frequently use of chemical pesticides affected the results. </p>

Egg parasitoids of the genus Trichogramma (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) can be found in several crops attacking Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith, 1797) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) eggs. It is therefore necessary to demonstrate the capacity of these natural enemies in suppressing populations of the pest to allow them to be used in biological control programs against that species. This work had the objective of evaluating the impact of egg layer distribution in S. frugiperda egg masses on the parasitism capacity of Trichogramma atopovirilia Oatman & Platner, 1983. Masses containing one, two, and three layers were used as treatments, and 1.6 parasitoid per egg of the pest were released. Parasitism percentage differences were observed among the three types of masses under study, on average 66.24 ± 8.56%, 45.20 ± 6.20%, and 40.10± 3.46% for egg masses with one, two, and three layers, respectively, demonstrating the potential of use of the parasitoid for the control of fall armyworm.

In the late 1970s, Brazilian peppertree, Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi (Sapindales: Anacardiaceae), was targeted for classical biological control in Florida because its invasive properties (see Host Plants) are consistent with escape from natural enemies (Williams 1954), and there are no native Schinus spp. in North America. The lack of native close relatives should minimize the risk of damage to non-target plants from introduced biological control agents (Pemberton 2000). [...]

The interactions among insect communities influence the composition of pest complexes that attack crops and, in parallel, their natural enemies, which regulate their abundance. The lepidopteran stemborers have been the major maize pests in Kenya. Their population has been regulated by natural enemies, mostly parasitoids, some of which have been used for biological control. It is not known how a new exotic invasive species, such as the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae), may affect the abundance and parasitism of the resident stemborers. For this reason, pest and parasitism surveys have been conducted, before and after the FAW invaded Kenya, in maize fields in 40 localities across 6 agroecological zones (AEZs) during the maize-growing season, as well as at 3 different plant growth stages (pre-tasseling, reproductive, and senescence stages) in 2 elevations at mid-altitude, where all maize stemborer species used to occur together. Results indicated that the introduction of the FAW significantly correlated with the reduction of the abundance of the resident communities of maize stemborers and parasitoids in maize fields; moreover, the decrease of stemborer density after the arrival of FAW occurred mostly at both reproductive and senescent maize stages. It also suggests a possible displacement of stemborers by FAW elsewhere; for example, to other cereals. However, since this study was conducted only three years after the introduction of the FAW, further studies will need to be conducted to confirm such displacements.

New Association

AbstractThe new association approach for selecting biological control agents has been reanalyzed in the light of recent data. The results support the conclusion that the new association approach is ecologically and statistically sound. One of the major advantages of this approach is its capacity to control native pests, which make up 60–80% of all pests. The specificity of biocontrol agents newly associated with the target hosts is similar to other biocontrol agents. In addition, the new association approach is as safe as the old association approach in terms of environmental risks. Recent trials in the use of new associations have been most encouraging, and suggest that this approach should contribute to the future success of biological pest control worldwide.

AbstractThere is a need to identify potential biological control agents for use against noctuid pests in greenhouses. The gregarious ectoparasitoid Eulophus pennicornis (Nees) attacks a limited range of macrolepidopterous larvae, including those of some important horticultural pest species. Laboratory trials designed to investigate the biology of E. pennicornis on larvae of the tomato moth, Lacanobia oleracea Linnaeus, reveal that wasps preferentially parasitize penulitmate (fifth) or final (sixth) instar hosts. More than two-thirds of wasps lay viable eggs, and individual females oviposit on up to four hosts during their lifespan. Wasp fecundity is high, preadult development is rapid, and offspring show a markedly female-biased sex ratio. Parasitized fifth instar L.oleracea hosts do not grow as quickly as unparasitized larvae, and neither do they undergo normal ecdysis to the final larval stadium. Furthermore, the consumption of artificial diet by parasitized fifth instar hosts is greatly reduced in comparison to that of unparasitized larvae (overall feeding-reduction over a 12 day period was 64.7%). Our results suggest that E. pennicornis affects both the developmental and feeding physiology of host larvae, and that inoculative releases of this parasitoid could provide effective biological control for L. oleracea and other greenhouse pests.

Canadian Provinces

Linaria vulgaris Mill., known commonly as toadflax or butter-and-eggs, is worldwide in its distribution but is a serious weed only in the Canadian provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba (Zilke and Coupland, 1954), where it is increasing in importance (Beck, 1954; Carder, 1956; Forbes, 1957). Smith (1956) correlated its relative insignificance as a weed in the other provinces and in the northwestern United States with the occurrence of the curculionid beetle Gylmnaetron antirrhini (Payk.). Investigations on this and other insects that feed on toadflax and an evaluation of their possible use as biological control agents are reported in this paper; also included are some observations on the weedand its natural enemies made since 1950 in all provinces west of Quebec and in the northwestern United States.
