Suitability of food source for rearing Asecodes hispinarum Boucek, the experiment consists of seven treatments, as treatment 1 is no food (control), treatment 2 fed with 100 percent honey (w/v), treatment 3 fed with 50 percent honey (w/v), treatment 4 fed with 30 percent honey (w/v), treatment 5 fed with 10 percent honey (w/v), treatment 6 fed with 50 percent sugar syrup (w/v) and treatment 7 fed with water. The highest parasitism percentage of A. hispinarum was 89.17+-8.77 when fed with 30 percentage of honey. For the study of suitability temperature for rearing A. hispinarum, the experiment consists of three treatment, treatment 1 reared at the average room temperature 28.50 deg C (average maximum temperature of 32.90 deg C and average minimum temperature of 24.20 deg C), treatment 2 reared at constant temperature of 25 deg C and treatment 3 reared at constant temperature of 28 deg C. The highest parasitism percentage of A. hispinarum was 90.00+-7.70 when reared at room temperature (average 28.5 deg C).
