Abstract:
One primary parasite, Trioxys pallidus (Haliday) (Hym.: Braconidae), and a secondary parasite, Aphidencyrtus sp., were identified from the blackmargined aphid, Monellia caryella (Fitch) (Hom.: Aphididae), in Israeli pecan orchards. The average total parasitism for all locations sampled was 13.5%. Although a hyperparasite was discovered, it had no significantly detrimental effect on the parasite. © 1988 Lavoisier Abonnements.
