Abstract

The functional response of the third instar larvae of Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) on densities of Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westwood) eggs was evaluated under controlled conditions. A functional type Il response (Holling's disk) was observed. Holling and Livdahl & Stiven models gave similar values for estimating parameters of the Holling's disk equation; however, estimates produced by the Rogers were higher. According to the results obtained of predation, C. carnea has considerable potential for the control of T. vaporariorum.
