IGP by <i>Harmonia axyridis</i> on <i>Episyrphus balteatus</i> on potted pepper plants after 24h.

Abstract

<p>Percentage of third instars of <i>Episyrphus balteatus</i> reared on an <i>ad libitum</i> or limited supply of aphids that were killed through IGP on pepper plants after 24h by third instars of <i>Harmonia axyridis</i> reared on various diets. Aph ad lib: <i>ad libitum</i> supply of <i>Acyrthosiphon pisum</i> aphids, Aph lim: limited supply of aphids, Pollen: moist honey bee pollen. No statistically significant effect of larval diet of <i>H</i>. <i>axyridis</i> was found (generalized linear model with Poisson error distribution and a log link function). Error bars represent SE-values.</p
