Abstract
This study was conducted to identify methods to improve the emergence rate of Aphidius spp. in agricultural fields. The emergence rates of Aphidius colemani released into agricultural fields were 37.2%, 54.4% under 'sun blind' conditions, and 63.1% in the group in which shade and moisture were provided. Provision of shade and moisture upon introduction of Aphidius spp., can increase adult emergence 1.69 times more relative to a control group.
