The harmful Aonidiella aurantii (Maskell) and its predator Chilocorus bipustulatus L. in Citrus fruits. and population monitoring of the parasitoid Comperiella bifasciata (Howard) investigation of some biological properties of chilocorus bipustulatus

In the study; The Citrus Red Barkworm Aonidiella aurantii and its natural enemies Chilocorus bipustulatus and its Parasitoid Comperiella bifasciata, which cause significant damage to citrus, population monitoring was carried out in the 50-decare Lemon orchard's Weed cutting plot and Farmer's application plot between September 2020 and August 2022. The preoviposition time of Chilocorus bipustulatus was 8.1 ±0.28 days, the oviposition time was 90.6 ± 3.51 days, and the postoviposition time was 11.2 ±0.50 days. The total number of eggs laid was recorded as 459.6 ±16.29. The life expectancy of the female individual was determined as 109.9 ±3.41 and the life expectancy of the male individual as 108.6 ±3.78.
