Abstract

Augmentative releases of the tachinidLixophaga diatraeae (Townsend) at 3 plantations in south Louisiana at 3 rates [\(\bar X = control\) (none), 119–129 (light), and 796–924 (heavy) mated Φ/ha] resulted in an average of 25% parasitization byL. diatraeae of 1st-generation larvae of the sugarcane borer,Diatraea saccharalis (F.), in all plots. Therefore, parasite dispersal apparently negated rate effects, and results within plantations were pooled.
