Extract

It has been found to be expedient to determine the development of the Braconid parasite, Aphidius granarius, Marsh., under field conditions, following its artificial introduction in order to supplement the previous observations of the writer (Arthur 1944, 1945). The aim of the presaent work was to determine the degree of control likely to be achieved by the introduction of this parasite to corn crops known to harbour heavy Aphid infestations but lacking the corresponding paraponding parasitism. The work was undertaken during 1943–44 at Margam Cowbridge, and Ammanford, three widely separated locations in the south wales Area.
