Research Project:
QUARANTINE AND HOST RANGE TESTING OF PARASITOIDS FOR BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF APHIS GLYCINES
Location: Beneficial Insects Introduction Research Unit, Newark, DE
Project Number: 1926-22000-017-02
Project Type:
Specific Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 01, 2002
End Date: Aug 31, 2007
Objective:
To test host range of natural enemies for biological control of Aphis glycines, the soybean aphid.
Approach:
Rear imported parasitoid species in quarantine. Expose them to a range of aphid species to determine which ones they are capable of attacking under laboratory conditions. Draw inferences about potential host range after introduction against soybean aphid.
