The reproductive durations ofMyzus persicae(Sulzer) after parasitization by three species of Aphidiinae were compared and the mechanisms for differences in duration were examined. The lifetime fecundities of adult aphids parasitized byAphidius colemaniViereck, Aphidius gifuensisAshmead, andDiaeretiella rapae(McIntosh) were 3.96, 6.40, and 6.48, respectively. These values were much smaller than that of healthy adults (61.43 nymphs). The time of termination of reproduction by the aphids coincided with the time that the parasitic wasp larvae reached second instar. We infer that first-instar larvae of all three species initially attack conspecific and/or heterospecific competitors and that consumption of the aphid’s ovaries and other reproductive organs commences in the second instar. The modified intrinsic rates of natural increase (rparasitized) calculated from post-parasitized fecundity were 0.185 byA. colemani, 0.233 byA. gifuensis, and 0.234 byD. rapae. Parasitization of 100 % of the adult aphids byA. gifuensisorD. rapaedecreased the growth rate to a minimum of 24.4 % whileA. colemanimore moderately suppressed the growth of the aphid population (39.9 %). We propose the possibility that the effectiveness of species of Aphidiinae as biological control agents is influenced by differences in the duration of aphid reproduction following parasitization.
