Article Synopsis
- Green lacewings in Brazil are important predators for controlling the coffee leaf miner pest, which affects coffee crops.
- Laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the effectiveness of three lacewing species (Chrysoperla externa, Ceraeochrysa cincta, and Ceraeochrysa cornuta) on different developmental stages of the leaf miner (larvae and pupae).
- The results indicated that all three lacewing species displayed a similar functional response in terms of attack rates and handling times, suggesting they could be viable options for biological control, but field studies are needed to verify these findings.
