Abstract
A 5 yr. study of degree of infestation by the larvae, degree of parasitism and dates of emergence (host insect and parasites) shows that a possible reversal in the relative times of emergence of host and parasites may account for sudden changes in degree of parasitism, and for the changes in extent of damage suffered by the crop.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
