Evaluation of Light Attraction for the Stored-Product Psocids, Liposcelis entomophila, Liposcelis paeta, and Liposcelis brunnea.
Journal of Economic Entomology 2018 May 29
Psocids have become global pests of stored commodities as they can cause considerable economic losses. These insects are difficult to control because they have developed resistance to many chemical insecticides. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate alternative integrated pest management (IPM) approaches, such as the use of light attraction for monitoring and/or controlling psocids. Light attraction has been studied for Liposcelis bostrychophila Badonnel (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae) but not for other psocid species. In this study, we investigated the response of adults of three psocid species (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae), Liposcelis entomophila (Enderlein), Liposcelis paeta Pearman, and Liposcelis brunnea Motschulsky, to six wavelengths of light from light-emitting diode (LED) in paired-choice pitfall tests. L. entomophila females and males were not attracted to any of the wavelengths tested. L. paeta females responded positively to two ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths (351 and 400 nm) and to green light (527 nm), while males did not respond to any light. L. brunnea females and males responded positively to all six wavelengths evaluated. Most of the LEDs that elicited positive responses to L. paeta females and L. brunnea females and males were also preferred when these lights were presented against brewer's yeast, a food attractant highly preferred by several psocid species. Females of L. paeta and L. brunnea were attracted to white light when compared with a blank, but females of L. entomophila were not attracted to white light compared to a blank.
