ABSTRACT
The studies were carried out on the maize crops grown in monoculture in 2004–2005 on two experimental fields at Łosiów
and Wronów in the Opole region, Poland. Larvae of these four hoverfly species:
Sphaerophoria scripta
(L.),
S. rueppelli
(Wied.),
S
.
menthastri
(L.) and
Episyrphus balteatus
(Deg.) were found on maize plants.
S. scripta
was more abundant at both sites in 2004, whereas
S. rueppelli
predominated in 2005. The following parasitoids of syrphid pupae were identified:
Pachyneuron grande
Thomson,
Syrphoph-
agus aeruginosus
(Dalman),
Aphidencyrtus aphidivorus
(Mayr) and
Dendrocerus pupparum
(Graham), as well as ichneumonid wasps. The
predominant parasitoid species that attacked the syrphid pupae of all types to the greatest extent, w
as
P. grande.
