A comparison of two parasitoids, Bracon hebetor (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and Venturia canescens (Hymenoptera: Ichnemonidae), and a predator Xylocoris flavipes (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) in suppressing residual populations of the almond moth, Ephestia cautella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

Two parasitoids, Bracon hebetor Say and Venturia canescens (Gravenhorst), and a predator, Xylocoris flavipes (Reuter), were evaluated as control agents against the almond moth, Ephestia cautella (Walker), infesting food debris contained within a 1500 cu ft room. Greater suppression of E. cautella wa...

Zusammenfassung:Two parasitoids, Bracon hebetor Say and Venturia canescens (Gravenhorst), and a predator, Xylocoris flavipes (Reuter), were evaluated as control agents against the almond moth, Ephestia cautella (Walker), infesting food debris contained within a 1500 cu ft room. Greater suppression of E. cautella was exhibited by wither parasitoid than was exhibited by the predator.
