Effects of egg position, host arrangement and rearing space on the efficiency of a new mass‐rearing method for the parasitoid <scp> <i>Dastarcus helophoroides</i> </scp>
These findings suggest that the rearing efficiency of D. helophoroides can be maximized by using medium-sized rearing boxes, horizontally arranged rearing tubes, and peripherally placed egg cards. Our findings provide a scientific basis for further optimizing the mass-rearing technology of this parasitoid. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
