Abstract

Biology of Mallada boninensis on three species of aphids viz., Lipaphis erysimi, Brevicoryne brassicae and Uroleucon carthami, infesting mustard, cabbage and safflower, respectively was undertaken alongwith impact of favorable growth and development parameters. Overall suitability of host insects indicated that the B. brassicae was preferred more by M. boninensis as compared to L. erysimi and U. carthami.
