This study compares the biological performance and production economics of Ch. bifoveolatus reared on two factitious hosts (Corcyra cephalonica and Spodoptera litura) under controlled laboratory conditions. Our results showed that Ch. bifoveolatus ...  aBiological control  aParasitoids  aControle Biológico  aEntomologia  aParasitose1 aHUANG, M.1 aTARIQ, H.1 aWEI, J.1 aKAMFWA, K.1 aBUENO, A. de F.1 aTANGA, L.-D.1 aZANG, L.-S.  tPest management Science, 2025.
