Figure 1

The patterns of numbers of emerging (A) adult Caribfly and (B) parasitoid wasps (Diachasmimorpha longicaudata) observed in EPN treatments, with increasing IJ rate of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora applied over two Caribfly-infested guavas in the field. Tukey’s HSD tests at P ⩽ 0.05: same letter on top of bars (± standard errors) denotes no significant differences, even though numerical margins were observed, in accumulated densities of emerging adult Caribfly or the parasitoid wasps between application rates of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora.

Relationship between relative survival of Caribfly and increasing IJ rate of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora used to treat two infested guavas plot−1 in field trials from June to August 2017. The coefficient of determination and the probability statistic for significance level are R
2 and P, respectively.

Relationship between probability of observing large numbers of the parasitoid Diachasmimorpha longicaudata and the increasing IJ rate from 0 to 100 IJs cm−2, following EPN-augmentation of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora over two guavas in field trials from June to August 2017. The coefficient of determination is R

Cost estimates for the possible EPN-augmentation approaches in guava orchards to achieve maximum suppression of Caribfly at the best IJ ratea.

Strategic EPN-augmentation option In series, number of fruit tree−1 on the ground Total number of fruit on the ground in 1 hectareb Required IJs ha−1 of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Estimated cost of total number of IJs (US$ ha−1)
Hectare-wide EPN-augmentation or broadcasting at ‘(50 IJs cm−2 spread over a fruit in 350 cm2)’ seems to be less cost-effective na na 5 × 109 970c
