Effects of a mixed species infestation on the cassava mealybug and its encyrtid parasitoids

Biological Control, 2003
Abstract The two encyrtid endo-parasitoids, Aenasius vexans Kerrich and Acerophagus coccois Smith, are biological control agents of the cassava mealybug, Phenacoccus herreni Cox and Willliams, in Latin America. Parasitoids used as biological control agents are released in agro-ecosystems in which plants are typically attacked by various ...
