Abstract

In this work are presented the parasite's complex that acts on green oak defoliator (Tortrix viridana L.) and its participacion in the reduction of the populations x>i T. viridana L. In the complex of parasites we have registered 24 species, of which 11 act on caterpillar and 13 in the pupa stadium of the green oak defoliator, and also 8 species of hyperparaites. Phaeogenes invisor Thunb. is dominant and the most effective in the parasite complex of Tortrix viridana L., and its participation in the regulation of the population is 6,7 - 42,9%. Scambus annulatus Kiss., Pimpla conmixta Kiss., Idris flavicornis Fërster and Monodontomerus minor Ratz. are registered for the first time. Also, according to available literature, we have recorded for the first time, species of the class Nematoda, as endoparasites in the larvae of T. viridana L.
