摘要
The braconid parasite, Apanteles flavipes (Cameron), was introduced into the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas in 1977 and has become established on Diatraea saccharalis (F.) attacking 4 species of host plants. Approximately 71% of the 26,971 adult parasites released were released in sugarcane, Saccharum officinarum L., with the remainder being released on field corn, Zea mays L., broomcorn, Sorghum vulgare technicum (Koern.) and Johnson grass, Sorghum halepense (L.). Recoveries indicate dispersal of at least 4 km from release sites. © 1979 Le François.
