Effect of temperature on biological characteristics and feeding capacity of Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) as important predator of the currant lettuce aphid, Nasonovia ribisnigri (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Biological characteristics and feeding rate of Episyrphus balteatus on Nasonovia ribisnigri as an economically important pest of lettuce were evaluated at four constant temperatures (15, 20, 25 and 30 ± 1°C), 65 ± 5% RH and a photoperiod of 16L: 8D h. Results showed that the developmental time of th...
