| dc.description | A study of Diatraea saccharalis F. (Lepidoptera:Crambidae) and its effects upon sugarcane was made from 1958 through 1960 on St. Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Diatraea is our principal sugarcane pest, its attacks on B.37161 cane ranging up to 43.94 percent of all joints bored during the study period. Parasitization of Diatraea eggs by Trichogramma minutum Riley (Hymenoptera:Trichogrammatidae) averaged over 97 percent. Pupae and larvae were not found to be parasitized, so Lixophaga diatraea Town-send (Diptera:Tachinidae) was imported and released at five locations on the Island. Nine months after release this tachinid fly was apparently established. | en-US |
| dc.description | Durante el 1958 al 1960, en la isla de Santa Cruz, Islas Vírgenes, se llevó a cabo un estudio de la Diatraea saccharalis F. (Lepidoptera:Crambidae) y los efectos de sus ataques a la caña de azúcar. La Diatraea es la plaga más nociva de nuestros cañaverales; sus ataques a la variedad B.37161 constituyeron hasta un 43.94 por ciento de todos los entrenudos observados durante el periodo del estudio. El parasitismo de los huevos de la Diatraea por el Trichogramma minutum Riley (Hymenoptera Trichogrammatidae) llegó a un 97 por ciento en promedio. Las pupas y larvas no se encontraron parasitadas por lo cual se importó el Lixophaga diatraea Townsend (Diptera:Tachinidae) y se distribuyó en cinco sitios de la Isla. Al cabo de nueve meses parece que esta mosca taquinida quedó establecida aquí. | es-ES |
