Parasitoid Diversity of Whitefly and Aphid of Soybean

Abstract

The research of parasitoid diversity of whitefly and Aphid on soybean were conducted at District of  Lumajang  from Juni to Agustus 2013. The objectives of this research were to study  the biodiversity, abundance and parasitism of whitefly and Aphid parasitoid of soybean. Measurement of insect diversity was calculated using Shannon’s index. The result Showed, i.e. polynema sp (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae),   Eretmocerus sp, Encarsia sp Aphelinus sp. (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) and Aphidius sp (Hymenoptera: Aphididae). Parasitoid were abundance in whitefly and aphid popular a soybean which is becomes a potential biocontrol  pest management of whitefly and Aphid a soybean
