The study was conducted at the agricultural experimental station of Farako-B â , specifically in the Cotton Program. Insects were collected in Farako-B â field and raised in the Cotton Program. Dysdercus vo ë keri Schmidt is one of cotton cultivation main pests in Burkina Faso. The control of this devastating cotton bug is based on chemical using. For researching alternative solutions, a part of the biological control method was investigated by using Phonoctonus lutescens which is D. v ö elkeri natural enemy, in order to develop a biological control method. To understand the bioecology of P. lutescens , our study has been carried out on this insect under laboratory conditions when it was feed on its prey which is D. vo ë keri . The results have demonstrated that the pre-copulation period is 9.33 ± 2.14 days. The oviposition period is 6.97 ± 1.47 days, after which 366.73 ± 27.43 eggs on average are laid with 92.33% ± 4% hatchability. From hatching to adult stage, P. lutescens larvae development goes through five stages with variable durations according to the stage. The results showed that the development cycle lasted 57.23 ± 5.81 days at a temperature of 27.5 ° C ± 2 ° C and a relative humidity of 42% ± 3%. Survival rates ranged from 92% to 97.47%. Males and females lived respectively 87.5 ± 27.99 days and 107.97 ± 24.21 days. These results could permit a better use of P. lutescens through a mass rearing and an optimization of D. vo ë keri biological control.
