| Abstract | ||
| Functional response and the reproductive potential tables of the parasite Eretmocerus mundus on cotton whitefly Bemisia tabaci were studied in biological control research unit at temperatures 25c, the result showed functional response curves showed that the E. mundus females of followed the second pattern functional response, the attack coefficient (a) was 1.1193, while 0.5016 hour for the handling time (Th). The results of reproductive capacity tables of E. mundus females at an average age of 6 days on 25c, as well as revealed that net reproductive rate (Ro) were 11.12 female/female/generation. Generation length period (T) 29.99 days. Intrinsic rates of increase (rm) were 0.08 female/female. We concluded inference the fend parasitoid E. mundus followed type II of functional response. Dependent on reproduction rate the population of this parasitoid tend on increase on temperatures 25c. We recommended more environmental, life and field studies on the parasite. | ||
