Abstract
Studies on systems with multiple predatory species have shown that species interactions may not be predictable and are largely dependent on individual behavioral traits, species density, and habitat complexity. The interactions of the mirid predators Macrolophus basicornis (Stal) and Engytatus varians (Distant) (both Hemiptera: Miridae) with the pest Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) were examined, and the positive or negative effects of their combined use were estimated by a multiplicative risk model (MRM). The efficacy of single and mixed mirid species against eggs and larvae of the pest was estimated through 24-hours predation rates under laboratory conditions. Both mirid species preferred eggs and first instar larvae of T. absoluta. Their combined use was positive when their feeding was on these stages of the pest, but negative when it was on second instar larvae. Our results, based on predation rates, showed that M. basicornis had a higher predatory capacity than E. varians on first instar larvae of T. absoluta, but both mirids were good candidates as biocontrol agents against T. absoluta on tomato.
