Parasitism of tarnished plant bug nymphs, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) was investigated on different weeds and on lettuce, celery and alfalfa-clover, in a muck soil area of southwestern Quebec. The phenology of parasitism, defined as the time during which female parasitoids are active in the field, was evaluated. Two nymphal parasitoid species were found: Peristenus pallipes (Curtis) and P. pseudopallipes (Loan). Lygus lineolaris was most abundant on stinging-nettle with levels of parasitism of 17% (P. pallipes) and 27% (P. pseudopallipes) and on alfalfa-clover with levels of parasitism of 25% (P. pallipes) and 8% (P. pseudopallipes). On lettuce, parasitism by P. pseudopallipes was below 4% while no parasitism was observed on celery. The dissection and rearing methods were used to estimate parasitism, and dissection usually yielded parasitism levels higher than rearing. Degree-days requirements of both host and parasitoids were used to calculate the period of activity of parasitoid adults. The estimates of adult activity were 47 days from late May to early July for P. pallipes, and 42 days from mid-July to late August for P. pseudopallipes. |
