Prospective biological control agents for regulation of population of Clostera fulgurita (Walker) on poplar in Punjab
2008
Sangha, K.S. | Sohi, A.S.
Population of Closterafulgurita (Walker) can be regulated by natural enemies. Can!heconafurcellata Wolff (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), a predatory bug and Aleoides percurrens Lyle (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), larval parasitoid have potential in regulating the population of this defoliator. Both these biocontrol agents are host density dependent. Temperature range of 20-25 °C for Aleoides and 15-20 °C for Canthecona is optimum for the development of their population. Adult longevity of Aleoides was more during August-October with maximum parasitisation during Octoher..November, 2003.
