Abstract

The biology of Telenomus chloropus Thomson was studied on eggs of Nezara viridula (L.) which had been reared on the stink bug resistant soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill, genotype PI 171444 and the susceptible cultivar Davis. Time of development of T. chtoropus from egg to adult emergence was not significantly different in eggs oviposited by N. viridula reared on either Davis or PI 171444. However, successful emergence of T. chloropus from host eggs was significantly lower for parasitoids that developed in eggs from N. viridula reared on PI 171444. Longevity of adult T. chloropus was not significantly different between females that were allowed or denied oviposition regardless of the genotype fed the host. Total fecundity of T. chloropus reared from eggs of N. viridula fed PI 171444 was one-half that of parasitoids from the Davis treatment. Although ovipositional patterns over the lifetime of parasitoids from the 2 treatments were similar, the mean number of progeny produced per day was significantly greater in the Davis treatment. Also, the ovipositional period of parasitoids from the PI 171444 treatment was shorter than for parasitoids from the Davis treatment.

Résumé

On a étudié la biologie de Telenomus chloropus Thomson sur les oeufs de Nezara viridula (L.) élevé sur le soja (Glycine max (L.) Merrill) résistant aux punaises (génotype PI 171444) et sur le cultivar non-résistant Davis. Le temps de développement de T. chloropus de l'oeuf à l'imago n'était pas différent dans les oeufs de N. viridula élevés sur Davis ou PI 171444. Mais, les parasitoïdes qui développaient du traitement PI 171444 eurent bien moins de succès d'émergence. Le génotype de soja n'avait aucun effet sur la longueur de vie des adulte T. chloropus. La fécondité totale de T. chloropus du traitement PI 171444 était la moitié de celle des parasitoïdes du traitement Davis. Le nombre moyen des descendants des parasitoïdes était le plus grand dans le traitement Davis. De plus, la durée de la ponte des parasitoïdes était plus courte dans le traitement PI 171444.
