Susceptibility of Eucalyptus spp. (Myrtales: Myrtaceae) and Clones to Leptocybe invasa (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in Paraná, Brazil

Abstract

'Grancam COP 1277' had the highest percentage of leaves and petioles attacked by L. invasa, whereas 'Urograndis (seminal)', 'Urocam VM1' and E. grandis had lower and statistically similar values. The attack by the wasp on C. citriodora was relatively minor compared with the above susceptible lines. Statistical differences were observed among similar proportions of attack between the oviposition preference on the 3 strata, leaves, and petioles of the assessed trees.
