Abstract

I reviewed effects of different pesticides used against target insect of Habrobracon hebetor Say (an idiobiont and gregarious ectoparasitoid wasp), on the demography and functional response of this important biocontrol agent in Iran. For demographic studies, the young wasps of H. hebetor (under 24h old) were exposed to LC30 of each pesticide for 24h and then their desired features are investigated. About the functional response, sixty mated females of H. hebetor were treated by LC30 of selected pesticides for 24h. Then, among them six wasps were selected and introduced to different densities of host larvae for 24h. In conclusion, result of review confirmed that botanical and insect growth regulator (IGRs) pesticide due to the lowest negative effects on H. hebetor were compatible compared with the other pesticides for their successful combination in integrated pest management (IPM) designs.
