摘要
The predation capacity and prey preferences of Chrysoperla cf. plorabunda (Fitch) on Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, Toxoptera citricida (Kirkaldy); Brevipalpus sp. Baker; and Aleurocanthus woglumi Ashby; economically important pests of citrus, were evaluated under controlled conditions. The study of predation capacity showed that D. citri is the most consumed prey (61.99 +/- 4.36), followed by T. citricida (45.23 +/- 6.27) and Brevipalpus sp. (24.60 +/- 2.82). Chrysoperla cf. plorabunda did not prey on A. woglumi. When combined in the same Petri dish, the Manly's beta index indicates a tendency to prefer D. citri over T. citricida and Brevipalpus sp. The results show that C. cf plorabunda prefers to feed on D. cirri over T. citricida, Brevipalpus sp., and A. woglumi.
