An insight in the reproductive biology of Therophilus javanus (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, and Agathidinae), a potential biological control agent against the legume pod borer (Lepidoptera, Crambidae)
Therophilus javanus is a koinobiont, solitary larval endoparasitoid currently being considered as a biological control agent against the pod borer Maruca vitrata, a devastating cowpea pest causing 20–80% crop losses in West Africa. We investigated ovary morphology and anatomy, oogenesis, potential...
