DO BIOLOGICAL CONTROL PARASITOIDS FOR LILIOCERIS LILII AFFECT BENEFICIAL LILIOCERIS SPECIES?

Objective

Objective 1: Finish replicates of Lemophagous pulcher needed to confirm that biological control agents for Lilioceris lilii do not attack Lilioceris (L.) cheni. Objective 2: Begin trials to test whether Tetrastichus setifer, Diaparsus jucunda and/or Lemophagus pulcher will attack L. egena in quarantine. Objective 3: Grow sufficient food to support a colony of L. cheni and L. egena to test biological control agents.
