The density of M. sojae and percentage parasitism was studied in unsprayed soybean at 18 farmers' field sites in Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra provinces, Indonesia, during 1992 and 1993. M. sojae generally infested soybean throughout the season; infestation was initially low, reached its peak from the fifth till the eighth week after planting and declined towards the end of the season. A complex of seven hymenopterous parasiloids had a high impact on the pest. Parasitism levels built up alongside with host density and remained high until just before harvest. The eucoilid Gronotoma sp. was the most prevalent species during the early and mid-season; a complex of pteromalids became dominant towards the end of the season. In soybean planted successively at 2-week intervals, the parasitism level in the first-planted crop built up slowly, whereas the parasitism level in the third-planted crop was high from the early crop stage onwards, which suggests that the third-planted crop benefited from parasitism build-up in the earlier-planted crops. The role of parasitoids in controlling beanflies in unsprayed soybean is discussed. |
