Previous parasitoid surveys of the fall armyworm (Ashley, 1979;
Molina-Ochoa et al., 2001) have described the need to identify parasitoid
performance in relation to the host plant attacked by the herbivore pest (Molina-Ochoa et al., 2003). The present study found
that fall armyworm larval strain and plant diet had significant effects
on the timing of E. platyhypenae oviposition, the numbers of eggs
laid, and wasp juvenile mortality levels
