Fitness evaluation of Encarsia sophia parasitizing Aleurocybotus indicus on two rice cultivars

ABSTRACT Banker plant system has been widely used to control vegetable pests through the use of different combinations of host plant-alternative host natural enemy. In order to control the destructive pest Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) with banker plant system, estimating...
