El presente trabajo se realizó en el Centro Nacional de Investigaciones de "Palmira" Valle: ICA a 1.000 msnm a 24r59°C y 73,13% de humedad relativa.
Se efectuaron estudios del ciclo de vida y hábitos de B. kirkpatricki W. (Hymenoptera: Branconidae) parásito de Anthonomus grandis B. y pectinophora gossypiella S.
Además, se elaboró la tabla de fertilidad, encontrándose que la rata neta de reproducción (Ro) fue de 19,31 y la rata intrínseca de crecimiento (rm) de 0,18.
ABSTRACT
