Seasonal parasitism of Agromyzid Leafminer, Chromatomyia horticola (Goureau) in field Pea

Leafminer was found to be parasitized by two hymenopteran parasitoids namely Opius sp. and Diglyphus sp. was noticed for the first time during 3^rd SW of 2016. The % parasitization during course of investigation ranged from 11.5 to 36.8% (mean 22.44 ± 8.06). The lowest parasitization of 11.5% was recorded during 4^th SW while maximum parasitization of 36.8% was recorded during 9^th SW. Mean temperature, relative humidity and rainfall significantly influenced the weekly % parasitization. The variations of temperature, R.H. and rainfall caused approximately 71, 18 and 17% of variation in the % parasitization, respectively.
