PREFERENCE OF NEOSEIULUS CALIFORNICUS (ACARI: PHYTOSEIIDAE) FOR VOLATILES OF BT MAIZE INDUCED BY MULTIPLE HERBIVORY

Preference of Neoseiulus californicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) for volatiles of Bt maize induced by multiple herbivory

ABSTRACT Plant indirect induced defenses against herbivores are characterized by the production of plant volatiles that to attract natural enemies.The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the attack of the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae or the multiple herbivory of T.urticae together with the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugipe
