文摘

Twenty psyllid adults per flush shoot provided optimal host density. Maximum production releasing one female wasp per infested shoot over 12:12 L:D. Sixty female wasps per cage of about 4800 nymphs provided most economical use of wasps and hosts. Progeny sex ratio was not influenced by parental sex ratio within 4:1 to 1:3 ♀:♂ range. A type II functional response was seen with parameter estimates within previously estimated ranges.
