  • To investigate the biological control of Aulacorthum solani, a comparative analysis was carried out using an indigenous natural enemy, Ephedrus plagiator, and an exotic parasitoid, Aphidius ervi. Lifespan, spawning periods, number of mummies, number of offspring, and developmental periods of the two parasitoids on Aulacorthum solani and Acyrthosiphon pisum were studied at 15, 20, 25, and $30^{\circ}C$ with a photoperiod 16 h (L): 8 h (D). The lifespan of E. plagiator (5.3 days) was relatively higher than that of A. ervi (2.3 days) when these parasitoids were reared on A. solani at $15^{\circ}C$. Similarly, the spawning period of E. plagiator (5.3 days) was longer than that of A. ervi (2.2 days). When the two aphid parasitoids were provisioned with A. solani, the numbers of E. plagiator mummies at 15, 20, 25, and $30^{\circ}C$ were 71.5, 41, 15.7, and 7.7, respectively, whereas at the same temperatures, the numbers of A. ervi mummies were 22.1 16.3, 6.2, and 0.4, respectively. In contrast, when provision with A. pisum, the numbers of E. plagiator mummies at 15, 20, 25, and $30^{\circ}C$ were 70.3, 69.8, 34.3, and 8.4, whereas the numbers of A. ervi mummies were 93.4, 71.2, 34.8, and 14.5, respectively. The numbers of E. plagiator offspring emerging at 15, 20, 25, and $30^{\circ}C$ were 42.1, 36, 11.6, and 0, whereas the numbers of A. ervi offspring emerging were relatively lower at 19.6, 13.5, 3.7, and 0.1, respectively. By comparing these results, it can be concluded that E. plagiator is a more efficient parasitoid of A. solani, whereas A. ervi is more efficient on A. pisum.
