Abstract
More than 200 shipments of beneficial insects for the biological control of soft scale insects, armoured scale insects, whitefly, aphids, mealybugs and the Mediterranean fruit fly, were imported to Israel during 1976-1987 by the quarantine facility of the Israel Cohen Institute for Biological Control. Laboratory culture was initiated with 89 species of primary parasites and predators; 60 species were successfully cultured. Of these, 56 species were released in the field and 29 were recovered; six are established and have effected successful biological control ofSaissetia oleae (Olivier) andDialeurodes citri (Ashmead).
