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

Effect of augmentative releasing of the lacewing,Chrysoperla carnea<\/em> (Steph.), on the density of the predator and the populations of its prey in the cotton field was studied in 2017 in Hama using three treatments: (T1l) <\/em>releasing the predator by 1000 larvae (at 2nd<\/sup>instar), per 1000m\u00b2 once a season;(T2l)<\/em> releasing the predator by 500 larvae per 1000m\u00b2twice a season at one-month interval;(Te)<\/em> releasing eggs of the predator at 1000 eggs per 1000m\u00b2once a season; and (C) the control field without any release. The predator releasing reduced the numbers of whitefly nymphs Bemisia tabaci <\/em>in the three trea tments,The releases in treatments (T1l <\/em>andTe<\/em>) <\/em>reduced the numbers of whitefly nymphs one week after the release by 84% and 89.31%respectively. However, aweek after the second release in T2l<\/em>, the reduction rate became 76.9 and the differences between the three treatment were not significant. The treatments reduced the aphid Aphis gossypii <\/em>population densities compared with the control. The largest reduction rate was one week after predator release in T1l<\/em>, followed by Te <\/em>89.07%, 73.46% respectively. While one week after the second release, the reduction rate in T2l <\/em>was higher than T1l<\/em> and Te<\/em> (significantly) by a reduction rate\u00a0 57.55% . Then, the reduction rates in the three treatments increased gradually until the end of the season. The densities of the C. carnea<\/em> eggs laid by endemic predators naturally in the treatment blocks decreased throughout the season after releasing of the predator compared with the control. There was a significant linear correlation between the endemic predator egg densities and their prey population densities (whitefly and aphid) in the cotton field.<\/span><\/p>\n
