Abstract

A total of 9339 larvae of Heliothis peltigera and H. armigera were collected in fields of safflower, grown alone, and safflower intercropped with sorghum, wheat, chickpeas [Cicer arietinum], cowpeas [Vigna unguiculata], lentils, linseed [flax], sunflowers or chillies [Capsicum] in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, India, in November-January 1977-83. The hymenopterous parasites Campoletis chlorideae, Enicospilus sp., Eriborus argenteopilosus and Microchelonus curvimaculatus [Chelonus curvimaculatus] and the tachinids Carcelia illota, Goniophthalmus halli, Sturmiopsis inferens and Palexorista solennis were reared from both noctuids. A greater percentage of larvae of H. armigera were parasitized in fields of safflower on its own than in those that were intercropped, and a greater percentage of larvae of this host were parasitized than of H. peltigera.
