摘要
Psytallia concolor (Szépligeti) is a koinobiont endoparasitoid of many Tephritidae larvae, including Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), and has been used in Mediterranean areas for biological control of olive fruit fly by inundative release. The present study evaluates the influence of olive fruit variety (Amfissis, Arbequina, Branquita de Elvas, Carolea, Kalamon, Koroneiki, Leccino, Manzanilla, Mastoidis, Moroccan Picholine and Picholine) on P. concolor parasitism efficiency and performance in the field during two successive years. The results showed that the percentage of parasitism was significantly higher (>30%) in Mastoidis and Koroneiki (light-weight varieties <1.5 g) than Leccino which has a medium fruit weight, followed by Amfissis, Moroccan Picholine, Picholine and Branquita de Elvas. Only Manzanilla among large weight varieties, exhibited high percentage of parasitization (42.72%) during 2013. The mean weight of the pupae (>4.21 mg) as well as the length of the developed adult parasitoids (>3.5 cm) in Mastoidis and Manzanilla were significantly higher than these individuals developed from other varieties such as Koroneiki and Kalamon. Finally, the optimal host fruit for P. concolor development seems to be Mastoidis variety with great biological parameters and percentage of parasitism.
