2.3. The Release study of Aenasius arizonensis View in CoL on Hibiscus rosa-sinensis in field conditions in Adana and Mersin provinces
This part of study was conducted in field conditions. Firstly, 2 different parks were determined to initiate the releases. Totally, four H. rosa-sinensis trees (naturally infested with P. solenopsis ) were selected for each location in Adana and Mersin provinces. Firstly, initial parasitization of mealybugs in trees was checked, and parasitism rate were recorded just before the release of parasitoids. A total of 100 A. arizonensis parasitoid adults (50 females, 50 male) were released for each H. rosa-sinensis tree on 07.08. 2018 in Adana and Mersin. Parasitized and unparasitized mealybugs were counted weekly from each tree to calculate parasitism rate in Adana and Mersin provinces. One-way ANOVA and Duncan multiple comparison tests were applied to determine the statistical differences of parasitism rate.
