- Shaaban Abd-Rabou, Plant Protection Research Institute, 7 Nadi El-Seid, Dokki, Giza, Egypt
Abstarct
Parasitoid species of the genus Metaphycus Merect are the most effective in controlling soft scale insects in Egypt. Surveys conducted during 2000-2001 in different localities in Egypt revealed that six species of this genus were associated with 13 species of soft scale insects. Metaphycus flavus (Howard) was the promising species in controlling different species of soft scale followed by M. helvolus (Compere) .The maximum parasitism rates of M. flavus reached 35, 37, 50 and 56% on Ceroplastes floridensis Comstock, Coccus capparidis (Green), Coccus hesperidum L. and Saissetia oleae (Oliver), respectively.
