Abstract

The existence of semiochemicals that influence the host selection behavior of several fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith)) parasitoids has been demonstrated. These semiochemicals are from several sources and influence the behavior in different ways. Various procedures for using semiochemicals in improving the performance of parasitoids in biological control of this important pest insect are discussed.
