  • 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.

  • Mummification, host selection and biological characteristics of primary parasitoids and hyperparasitoids in the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines, were studied. The soybean aphid mummies which were infected by primary parasitoids or hyherparasitoids were collected at Taejon area from May to September in 1987 Primary parasitoids and hyperparasitoids were emerged 27.1% and 50.3%, from 177 collected mummies. respectively Aphidius cingulatus, Ephedrus persicae and Ephedres plagiator could be effective primary parasitoids against the soybean aphid. Among the hyperparasitoids, Asaphes unlgaris and Ardilea conuexa might be dominant species to primary parasitoids of the soybean aphid. Charips brasicae was recorded for the first time in Korea E.plagiator was less parasitized than any other primary parasitoid by hyperparasitoids. E. plagiator might be higher than A. cingulatus in the ability of prarsitism. Life span of hyperparasitoid and primary parasitoid was estimated to be 3~29 days and 1~4 days, respectively.
