Notes: The objectives of this study were to (1) sequence candidate gene regions of the three encyrtid parasitoid species and develop species-specific PCR primers for multiplex PCR; (2) compare the detection of the three encyrtid parasitoid species using multiplex primers with detection via rearing and morphological characters; and (3) use these tools to describe patterns in parasitism by these encyrtids along RCS-infested stems. https://doi.org/10.1080/09583157.2025.2563728
