TY - JOUR T1 - Manejo integrado de plagas como estrategia para el control de la mosca del botón floral del maracuyá Dasiops inedulis Steyskal (Diptera: Lonchaeidae) Integrated pest management as a strategy to control the passionfruit flower-bud fly, Dasiops inedulis JF - Revista Corpoica - Ciencia y Tecnología Agropecuaria Y1 - 2012 A1 - Edgar Mauricio Quintero, A1 - Isabel Cristina López A1 - Takumasa Kondo SP - 31 EP - 40 AB - Four parasitoids of the passion fruit flower bud fly, Dasiops inedulis were collected, i.e., a larva-pupa type parasitoid, Utetes anastrephae (Viereck) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), and three pupal parasitoids, namely Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae Rondani, Spalangia sp. (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) and Aganaspis sp. (Hymenoptera: Figitidae). In the field we observed a species of Chrysopidae (Neuroptera) larva feeding on the sentinel pupae of D. inedulis. We conducted experiments on the efficiency of a toxic bait made from the bacteria Saccharopolyspora spinosa, as a new alternative for controlling D. inedulis on yellow passion fruit. This toxic bait maintained the injury levels below the conventional management used by farmers and the control plots in both study areas. A list of natural enemies of D. inedulis was compiled by inspecting passion fruit flower buds, using sentinel pupae, and information taken from the literature. For the control of D. inedulis, an integrated pest management strategy is proposed that will allow the farmer to maintain D. inedulis populations under control with different management tools, i.e., natural enemies which can be incorporated at different stages of development of D. inedulis, low toxicity baits, recollection of flower buds with symptoms of damage, monitoring with McPhail traps baited with protein hydrolysate, thus intervening at different stages the development breaking its life cycle VL - 13 IS - 1 ER -
