  9. GRANTResearch DPI • Identify whiteflies and associated natural enemies. • Maintain colonies (all life stages) of several species of whitefly in quarantine in Ft. Pierce and participate in parasitoid rearing and laboratory efficacy trials.

  10. GRANTResearch DPI • Maintain colonies of predators and parasitoids on alternate hosts such as giant whitefly in Gainesville rearing facilities. • Participate in statewide survey and collection of natural enemies. • Participate in field release and field evaluation of natural enemies.

  11. GRANTResearch UF & USDA • Collect and maintain whitefly populations in the laboratory. • Participate in statewide survey and collection of natural enemies. • Collect and maintain parasitoid populations in the laboratory.

  12. GRANTResearch UF & USDA • Develop rearing systems for candidate natural enemies using alternate hosts. • Conduct field and laboratory efficacy trials of natural enemies. • Participate in field release and field evaluation of natural enemies.

  13. GRANT Outreach DPI & UF & USDA This will be covered by: Stephanie Stocks

  14. TACTICS

  15. Types of Biological Control and Implementation Conservation biological control(limit pesticide usage and protect resources used by established natural enemies)

  16. Natural Enemies“Bugs eating Bugs” Assume anything you spray will have a negative impact on most natural enemies! Impact of insecticides on natural enemies?

  17. Types of Biological Control and Implementation Augmentative or Seasonal Inoculative biological control(periodic releases, usually endemic natural enemies)
