Descripción
Ceratitis capitata (or medfly) is one of the major pests currently affecting fruit crops in northwestern Argentinian Citrus-producing areas. Medfly populations are sustained in large exotic fruits, such as Citrus paradisi, Citrus aurantium and Citrus sinensis, which are known to hinder the activity of almost all native parasitoid species. Therefore, a feasible approach to controlling medfly involves the use of exotic parasitoids such as Diachasmimorpha longicaudata. In this study, the prediction that parasitoid females would be proficient at finding medfly larvae infesting the Citrus species mentioned earlier was tested. Particularly, the variation in fruit species preference by parasitoid females, the efficacy of the parasitoid to kill medfly and the effect of host density on parasitoid performance were determined. Parasitoids were allowed to forage for 8 h on grapefruits and oranges artificially infested with medfly larvae under controlled (laboratory) and uncontrolled (field cage) environmental conditions. Fruit choice and no-choice tests were performed. Results were assessed by comparing the number of female visits to and ovipositor insertions into the fruit, and parasitoid emergence, parasitism and additional host mortality percentages. Parasitoid preference for visiting larger fruits (sour orange and grapefruit) may be related to the increased fruit surface area. Ovipositional activity on fruit was influenced by the variation of the larval host density per unit of fruit surface. The higher parasitism rates recorded from sweet orange would be mainly a result of both increased host density and fruit physical features. Nevertheless, D. longicaudata showed the capacity to parasitise hosts in all Citrus species tested.
