Abstract

Chrysoperla zastrowi sillemi, a common predator in agricultural ecosystems, exhibits significant potential for biological pest control. Study investigated the functional response of C. zastrowi sillemi to Brevicorynae brassicae, a destructive pest of cruciferous crops through laboratory experiments and field observations. Analysed the predatory behaviour of C. zastrowi sillemi in response to varying densities of B. brassicae. The functional response curves are constructed to elucidate the relationship between predator consumption rate and prey density. Factors influencing the predatory efficiency, including prey density, predator handling time, and environmental conditions, are comprehensively evaluated. The findings provided valuable insights into the potential of predator as a biological control agent against B. brassicae infestations, facilitating the development of sustainable pest management strategies in agriculture.
