  • Notes: The objective of this work was to identify the parasitoids and determine the influence of insecticide and herbicide use on percent parasitism of Diaspis boisduvalii in Costa Rican banana plantations. These are the first records of an association between D. boisduvalii and Aphytis, Coccobius and Ablerus. https://doi.org/10.1007/s42690-025-01638-w
