Effect of Micromite® on the egg parasitoids Ceratogramma etiennei (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) and Quadrastichus haitiensis (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae)
Florida Entomologist 87 (2), 222-224
Abstract: This study reports the impact of Micromite on parasitization of D. abbreviatus egg masses by the parasitoids Ceratogramma etiennei and Quadrastichus haitiensis. Diaprepes abbreviatus egg masses treated with Micromite resulted in lower egg parasitization by C. etiennei. Micromite did not appear to affect egg parasitization by Q. haitiensis. A field test confirmed the sensitivity of C. etiennei to Micromite as well as to horticulture oil.
