It was aimed to study biological and behavior aspects of larvae and adults of Chrysoperla externa in greenhouse, on cotton plants. Recently hatched larvae were released on the upper third of cotton plants, which were previously infested with Aphis gossypii,. After emergence, adults were separated by sex and packed in cylindrical PVC recipients with cotton plant. We evaluated the duration of each larval, pre-pup...
The biotic and abiotic factors affect the reproductive potential of insects. Thus, the effects of female age and environmental factors on reproduction of Chrysoperla externa (Hagen, 1861) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) were studied. Adults of the predator were reared in "PVC" cages, closed in the upper portion with a thin mesh, organdie, placed on cotton plants at a greenhouse. The largest production of eggs by fema...
This work was carried out at the Laboratório de Entomologia da Embrapa - CNPA, in Campina Grande, state of Paraíba, Brazil, in 1998/99, to study the duration and viability of Chrysoperla externa (Hagen) (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae) larvae, fed with Aphis gossypii (Homoptera, Aphididae) and Sitotroga cerealella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), under controlled conditions. The temperature was 25+-2º C, 70+-10% UR and 12-...
Foi avaliado o efeito de diferentes tipos de cobertura morta sobre características do feijão-mungoverde (Vigna radiata), em um experimento instalado em campo na horta da UFERSA, de janeiro a abril de 2006. O clima local é Semi-Árido, seco e muito quente, com as estações seca (de junho a janeiro) e chuvosa (fevereiro a maio). O delineamento experimental utilizado foi de blocos completos casualizados com cinco tr...
