- Abstract
Parasitoid species of Artogeia (Pieris) rapae L. in El-Minoufia Governorate, at the three localities, i.e. (Quessna, Berket El-Saba and Shibin El-Kom) were surveyed during the two successive years of 2006 and 2007. The recorded parasitoids were the gregarious larval parasitoid, Apantelus glorneratus L., (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), the solitary pupal parasitoid, Brachyrneria femorata Panz. (Hym.: Chalicididae) and the gregarious pupal parasitoid, Pteromalus puparum L. (Hym.: Pteromalidae). Total parasitism percentages ranged between 5.7-16.2, 7.8-20.0 and 10-23% for A.glomeratus, B. femorata and P. puparum, respectively. However, the total monthly parasitism percentages recorded 26, 28 and 39% at Quessna, Shibin El-Kom and Berket El-Saba localities, respectively.
