Abstract

The parasitization potential of three parasitoids viz., a parasitoid, Aenasius arizonensis, and two predators, Cheilomenes sexmaculata and Cryptolaemus montrouzieri. was studied on Phenococcus solenopsis under laboratory conditions. Among them A. arizonensis alone recorded parasitization to an extent of 40.91%.
