Abstract

The field and laboratory studies were carried out to understood the biology of Campoletis chlorideae Uchida (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) on Spodoptera frugiperda (J E Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on maize crop. Field collection of C. chlorideae cocoons and S. frugiperda larvae were carried out from nearby maize fields of Karveer taluka, Kolhapur district. The culture of S. frugiperda and C. chlorideae were maintained in laboratory at 27± 2oC and 65-85% RH, respectively. The egg and larval period of C. chlorideae observed was 1.4± 0.11 and 6.9± 0.20 days; and pupal period was 6.2± 0.14 days, while longevity of male and female was 6.27± 0.42 and 7.07± 0.38 days, respectively.
