?Action of Parasierola nigrifemur (Ash.) (Hym. Behilidae) on Rhyacionia buoliana (Den & Schiff) (Lep. Tortricidae) in artificial pine forests, I. Period 1976-1977?
In order to control Rhyacionia buoliana (?european pine shoot moth?) biologically, some aspects of the relationship between this lepidopterous and the microhymenopterous Parasierola nigrifemur were studied in the Calamuchita Valley, Córdoba. The dispersion capacity of the latter and its parasitic effectiveness were investigated; the fluctuations of its biological eyele in the field, were simultaneously determinated in three zones at different altitude over sea level.
