Abstract
LUFT, Erica et al. Natural mortality of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) eggs in Argentina and Italy, and first record of Encarsia porteri (Mercet) (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) affecting its populations. Rev. Fac. Cienc. Agrar., Univ. Nac. Cuyo [online]. 2015, vol.47, n.2, pp.219-229. ISSN 1853-8665.
Oophagous biological control agents of T. absoluta naturally present in crops in South America (Buenos Aires and Tucumán Provinces, Argentina) and Europe (Lazio, Italia) were surveyed. A taxonomic list of species and the natural mortality rates caused by parasitism and predation are reported. Furthermore, the first record of Encarsia porteri (Mercet) (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) parasitizing T. absoluta eggs is informed.
