Biology of Selected Opiine Parasitoids (Braconidae) and Their Abundance Relative to the Host Bactrocera Dorsalis (Hendel). on Carambola

The apiines (Hymenoptera : Braconidae) are important parasitoids of the oriental truit fly. Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera : Tephritidae). In an attempt to exploit their potential in the integrated control of this pest. field and laboratory studies were conducted to generate information...
