- Abstract
The indirect competition or interference in the use of certain resources of the niche that can take place between L. diatraeae and T. howardi, as consequence of the vicinity of their microhábitat, don't affect the effectiveness of these parasitoides like biorreguladores of D. saccharalis significantly, for that that the combined parasitism, in all the samplings, was superior to the one that registered alone with L. diatraeae. The liberations of T. howardi reduce, markedly, the distribution of the pest. Under field conditions, where they were carried out high liberations of both parasitoides, any pustule of L. diatraeae parasited was not observed by T. howardi.
