A cage experiment with four trophic levels: cassava plant growth as influenced by cassava mealybud, Phenacoccus manihoti, its parasitoid Epidinocarsis lopezi,and the hyperparasitoids Prochiloneurus insolitus and Chartocerus hyalipennis
Different combinations of insects belonging to three trophic levels were released in large cages with hydroponie cultures of cassava in a greenhouse. The cassava mealybug (CM )' Phenacoccus manihoti Matile-Ferrero (Horn., Pseudococcidae) was applied at two initial infestation densities to cassava, s...
