Host stage preference and age-specific functional response of Praon volucre (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Aphidiinae) a parasitoid of Acyrthosiphon pisum (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

The pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) is one of the most important pests of pea throughout the world.Host stage preference under choice and no-choice tests and age-specific functional response of Praon volucre (Haliday) parasitizing A. pisum were investigated. The experiments were carried out...
