Experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of different host diets on the life table statistics of Bracon hebetor Say, a gregarious ectoparasitoid. The progeny sex ratio was female biased when host diet was maize or wheat. The net fecundity rate (R0) and total fecundity rate (R) were highest on host diet wheat followed by maize, jowar and rice. The innate capacity for increase in number (rr), the intrinsic rate of increase (rm), the finite rate of increase (λm) and weekly multiplication rate (rw) were highest on host diet wheat followed by maize, jowar and rice. The doubling time (DT) was shorter on wheat than maize, jowar and rice showing an inverse ratio to rm and rw. On the basis of life table statistics of B.hebetor, the diets of its host Corcyra cephalouica can be placed in order of their suitability for parasitoid population growth as: wheat > maize > jowar > rice.Keywords

The combined effect of microbial pesticide, Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner (Bt), and insect parasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor Say (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) was evaluated for the management of rice moth, Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). This parasitoid is very useful in testing host-parasitoid interaction due to its high fecundity and short generation time. The host location and acceptance by parasitoid female, investigated by choice and no choice tests, showed marked preference towards later host instar larvae of C. cephalonica. Parasitoid induced mortality of Bt-intoxicated and Bt- reared host larvae was also investigated. C. cephalonica mortality was highest (72.00 ± 3.26%) and synergistic when host larvae were exposed to acute Bt treatment in conjunction with the parasitoid. A combined treatment of Bt with H. hebetor is an effective strategy in integrated pest control programmes of C. cephalonica and other stored grain pests.Keywords
