Abstract

Honey and sucrose were tested for their role as kairomones and food materials to the predatory mirid bug, Cyrtorhinus lividipennis Reuter in the laboratory and greenhouse. Honey and sucrose at 10, 25, 50 and 100 per cent concentrations were found to be attractive to the mirid bugs. Honey was comparatively more attractive than sucrose. Honey and sucrose at different concentrations did not show significant differences in attracting mirid bugs and supported the survival of mirid bugs for 7-9 days compared to rice plants which supported for only 5 days

Keywords: Artificial foods, Cyrtorhinus lividipennis, honey, sucrose, kairomones, Nilaparvata lugens
