Nhu, L.T.T., Quoc, N.B., & Chau, N.N.B. 2025 Effect of the combination floral and diet resources on development of big-eyed bug Geocoris ochropterus (Fieber) (Hemiptera: Geocoridae) at different temperature. Journal of Applied Entomology 0: 1-8
Keywords:
Notes: The big-eyed bug, Geocoris ochropterus Fieber, is a polyphagous predator. Big-eyed bugs exhibit significant potential applications in effective biological control. In order to successfully mass-rear G. ochropterus and for field application, it is necessary to determine its appropriate temperature and the effects of different combinations of diets at different temperatures on the life cycle of G. ochropterus. The diets included Zinnia elegans (A), 10% honey solution (B) ant pupae and Zinnia elegans (C), mealybug Planococcus ficus and Zinnia elegans (D) treatments at 10°C, 20°C, and 30°C. https://doi.org/10.1111/jen.13440
