Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this study, the reproductive performance of the parasitoid Bracon <\/em>sp.<\/em> (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) against the leafminer T. absoluta<\/em> and Plodia interpunctella <\/em>H. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) as alternate host was studied in the laboratory at Lattakia Agriculture Research Center, Lattakia, Syria, during\u00a0 2011 and 2012 seasons. Parasitoid’s life tables were organized, and 5 full grown host larvae were presented to the parasitoid daily. Means development period (egg, larvae, and pupa) (X \u00b1 SD) for female parasitoids Bracon<\/em> sp. were 7.86 \u00b1 0.93 and 8.70 \u00b1 0.73 days against P. interpunctella <\/em>and T. absoluta<\/em>, respectively. Values of intrinsic rate of increase (rm<\/sub>) were 0.132 and 0.186 on T. absoluta<\/em> and P. interpunctella,<\/em> respectively. Also the values of net reproductive rate (R0<\/sub>), Gross reproductive rate (GRR), and the finite rate of increase (\u03bb) were higher on P. interpunctella<\/em> than T. absoluta,<\/em> but the generation period time (T) and the doubling time of population (DT) were shorter on P. interpunctella<\/em> as compared with T. absoluta. <\/em>This study clarified the capability of breeding the parasitoids Bracon<\/em> sp.\u00a0 at the lab against P. interpunctella<\/em> to control T.<\/em> absoluta<\/em> in tomato fields.<\/p>\n

Key words<\/strong>: Tuta absoluta<\/em>, Plodia interpunctella<\/em>, Bracon<\/em> sp., Biological control.<\/p>\n
