Abstract
Trichogramma nubilale Ertle and Davis successfully parasitized eggs of 17 out of 21 species of Lepidoptera in laboratory tests. The parasite exhibited significant preference for eggs of the European corn borer (ECB), Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), vs. eggs of 6 common moth species in host preference tests. These and other recent findings by the authors indicate that T. nubilale , while not strictly host specific, may be selective for the ECB.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
