| Abstract |
Biweekly field visits starting from January to the end of April 2011 were conducted to tomato fields (open and plastic houses) heavily infested with the tomato borer Tuta absoluta, in order to survey natural enemies associated with this pest. Three hemipterans were found: Orius albidipennis, Orius sp. (Anthocoridae) and Nesidiocoris tenuis (Miridae). In addition, the parasitic wasp Bracon (Habrobracon) concolorans, (Hymenoptera: Brachonidae) is recorded for the first time from Jordan. Field observations and other available data are presented and discussed. |
