Abstract
The present study is carried out to study the diversity of encyrtid parasitoid in selected crop ecosystem in Cuddalore district, Tamil Nadu during Dec 2018 to Jan 2020. The selected ecosystem includes cotton, rice, sugarcane, brinjal, plantation crops, orchard crops, and weeds. A total of 479 encyrtid parasitoids were collected which represents 23 genera and 2 subfamilies. The population studies revealed that most number of parasitoid are collected in cotton ecosystem. The least is recorded in the Rice ecosystem. Sucking pest are major constraints in achieving higher yields in the above mentioned crop ecosystems, hence the studies of diversity of encyrtid parasitoid is crucial for success in biological control.
