Abstract

Two decades after its introduction, D. semiclausum is still present, parasitizing the pest diamondback moth or DBM in Baguias, mankayan, La Trinidad, Kibungan and Bauko, the towns of Benguet known for the area-wide cultivation of cabbage. D. semiclausum was parasitizing at the rate of 49.8% to 59.6% during the months of September to November or the rainy season and 62.0% to 83.6% in the months of December to February or the dry season. D. semiclausum was parasirizing DBM better than the indigenous Cotesia plutella Kurdj.
