A coffee agroecosystem model: III. Parasitoids of the coffee berry borer ( Hypothenemus hampei ) [PDF]
Ecological Modelling, 2017 Abstract Parasitoids native to tropical Africa have been released in the Americas for the biological control of the coffee berry borer (CBB), but their establishment has been checkered. A tritrophic distributed maturation time model for the coffee plant – CBB – three parasitoids ( Phymastichus coffea , Cephalonomia stephanoderis , Prorops nasuta ...
