biological parameters of two syrphid fly species ischiodon scutellaris (fabricius) and episyrphus balteatus (degeer) and their predatory potential on wheat aphid schizaphis graminum (rondani) at different temperatures [electronic resource]. - p.11-18.

Includes reference.

Syrphid flies, Ischiodon scutellaris (Fabricius) and Episyrphus balteatus (DeGeer), are among the most common aphidophagous species in wheat growing areas of Punjab, Pakistan. Exploit predatory species efficiently in any biological control program requires an in-depth understanding of predator and prey interactions. The present study was conducted aiming to explore and compare the predatory potential of these predatory species against the wheat aphid, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani) along with their relative fitness at different temperatures in terms of duration of lifecycle stages under laboratory conditions
