MARTINEZ, María de los A et al. REARING OF Diaeretiella rapae McIntosh IN BANKER PLANTS SYSTEM. Rev. Protección Veg. [online]. 2011, vol.26, n.2, pp.129-130. ISSN 1010-2752.

The rearing method of the parasitoid Diaeretiella rapae McIntosh is first time evaluated in Cuba under a banker plant system with the use of Sorghum bicolor (L.) as an alternative host plant and the aphid Rophalosiphum maidis, which resulted simple and ecological. It can guarantee the continued production of wasps to be used by farmers to control aphid populations in vegetables.

Keywords : Banker plant system; Diaeretiella rapae; parasitoide; Sorgum bicolor; Rophalosiphum maidis.
