Interactions between Metisa plana, its hyperparasitoids and primary parasitoids from good agriculture practices (GAP) and non-gap oil palm plantations

The bagworm species, Metisa plana (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), is a major oil palm pest. The existence of M. plana parasitoids is reliant on the presence of the host (M. plana) and food supplies. However, no detailed information on their food web has been studied as a model system for community ecology...

The parasitoid samplings were conducted at six oil palm plantations throughout Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 1199 hymenopteran parasitoid specimens belonging to 16 species under 8 families were successfully collected by using malaise traps for 12 months.

For the non-GAP, intensive insecticide application for pest control was assumed to be the main reason for the weak correlations.
