Abstract

Diet and host are influence on parasitoid reproductive. The objective of this study is to study on food type and host size on oviposition of Spalangia gemina, designed in a completely randomized design (CRD). The results show that food type effect on the life span and the parasitization period of S. gemina.  The feeding of honey and nectar to adult of S. gemina from the beginning of the hatching was resulting in longevity. The longest life span of adult, S. gemina is 30% of honey (25.18 days) and the parasitization period is longer and tends to increase the sex ratio. Moreover, the food type affects the times of parasitization which the parasitoid can parasitized the house pupa up to 18 times. The size of the house fly pupa affects the oviposition and sex ratio of S. gemina. Oviposition of S. gemina was direct variation with the size of the house fly pupa that when the size of the house pupa increases, oviposition and sex ratio of S. gemina was increase.  The egg laying of parasitoid was highest on 5 - >6 mm. of the size of the house pupa, 88-95% and sex ratio was high when S. gemina oviposited on >6 mm. (5.04 pupae). This information uses for mass rearing the house fly pupal parasitoid, S. gemina for useful in controlling flies on biological.
