    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Trichogramma pretiosum Riley, parasitoïde généraliste des oeufs de lépidoptères, intensifie sa prospection sur des emplacements, contaminés par une kairomone associée aux pontes d'Heliothis zea Boddie (Lep. Noctuidae). Au laboratoire T. pretiosum cherchera les emplacements contaminés, abandonnant les morceaux de papier filtre standardisés (de 10 cm de diamètre) si aucun hôte n'est découvert dans les 60 à 180 secondes. Le temps total et le temps de prospection passés sur les emplacements sur lesquels des hôtes ont été découverts présentent une meilleure corrélation avec le nombre d'hôte attaqués (Nha) par morceau de papier qu'avec la densité réelle des hôtes. La perception de la densité d'hôte par morceau de papier est souvent incorrecte dans ce sens. Le temps de palpation (Th) et le temps dépensé à palper à nouveau des hôtes déjà parasités correspondent à une dépense importante du temps passé sur le morceau de papier. Les différentes hypothèses qui ont été utilisées pour expliquer la distribution du temps de prospection par d'autres parasitoïdes et prédateurs semblent inapplicables à T. pretiosum. Le taux de retour sur des hôtes parasités par rapport au nombre d'hôtes attaqués semble affecter les dépenses de temps de cette espèce. Les résultats d'observations antérieures dans les champs sont comparés aux observations de laboratoire du comportement de prospection.
    Notes: Abstract Trichogramma pretiosum Riley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), a generalist parasitoid of lepidopteran eggs, intensifies search in patches contaminated by a kairomone associated with Heliothis zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) oviposition sites. In the laboratory the parasitoid will search any kairomone-treated patch, abandoning standardized (10 cm diam) patches if no hosts are located within 60–180 sec. Total time and searching time on patches in which hosts are discovered are more highly correlated with the number of hosts attacked (Nha) per patch than with actual host density. The parasitoid's perception of host density per patch is often “incorrect” in this sense. Handling time (Th) and time “wasted” in re-handling hosts parasitized earlier in the patch visit consume a large proportion of total patch time. Several hypotheses which have been suggested to explain patch time allocation by other parasitoids and predators appear inapplicable to T. pretiosum. The ratio of re-encounters with parasitized hosts to the number of hosts attacked appears to affect the allocation of patch time by this species. The results of previous field experiments are compared to laboratory observations of searching behavior.

    Notes: Abstract Heliothis zea (Boddie) larvae were reared on fresh plant material (cowpea cotyledons) or on an artificial laboratory diet. Effect of these two diets on the kairomonal activity of the frass and cuticle from the larvae, as well as the kairomonal activity of the diets themselves, forMicroplitis croceipes (Cresson) was determined. Diet was found to significantly affect the kairomonal activity of the frass although the diets themselves were not active.

    Notes: Abstract A kairomone from adultHeliothis zea (Boddie) scales is an important factor in the host selection process ofTrichogrammapretiosum Riley. If the host density is sufficiently high (i.e., 1 egg/500 cm2) and higher), a complete coverage or solid treatment of kairomone spray may be the optimum for increasing parasitization rates, but this is not the case at lower host densities (e.g., 1 egg/2000 cm2). At the lower densities, the kairomone must be distributed in such a way as to retain the parasitoids in the target area without inhibiting their movement from one ovi-position site to the next. Simulated moth scale particles appear to fill this need since their density can be regulated to provide the optimum frequency of parasitoid stimulation and thus maximum rates of parasitization at prevailing host densities.
