Abstract
This paper gives the results of two years' experiments on rearing and colonizing T. minutum on peach, apple and pecan insects in Georgia. Sitotroga cerealella is used as the laboratory host. Field hosts are Oriental fruit moth, codling moth, nut case bearer, leaf case bearer and shuck worm eggs. A new type of parasite card is described. Some very promising results were obtained in the field, especially in parasitizing the eggs of the Oriental fruit moth and codling moth.Keywords
