Abstract
Nezara viridula (L.) attacks a wide range of crops in the tropics and subtropics and is a major pest of macadamias.
Biological control of this stink bug, by the introduction of parasitoids, has been attempted in several countries with different levels of success.
The combined action of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis and adult parasitoid Trichopoda pilipes has provided successful control of N. viridula on macadamias in Hawaii.
There are several additional parasitoids including the South American tachinids Eutrichopodopsis nitens, Trichopoda giacomellii, T. nigrifrontalis and Ectophasiopsis arcuata which have not been exploited.
The potential of these and other parasitoids for biological control of N. viridula in macadamias, is discussed.
