Abstract
AbstractSurveys, from 1948 to 1964, showed that parasites were of minor importance in controlling the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), in extreme southwestern Ontario. Of the three species that became established, Lydella grisescens Robineau-Desvoidy was the most widespread and the most important. Eriborus terebrans (Gravenhorst) showed considerable buildup in parts of Essex County after discovery there in 1957, and Sympiesis viridula (Thomson) was found widely dispersed, but low in density, throughout the survey area. There is an indication that parasites might be of greater importance in areas where the second-generation borer is increasing.
