- Abstract
In order to identify Spodoptera frugiperda Smith & Abbot (Lepidoptera: Noctuidaenatural)'s enemies and quantify the prevalence and percentage of parasitism, all instars of this insect were collected in maize (corn) fields throughout six locales in the Palu Valley, Central Sulawesi, in 2021. Larvae were kept in controlled environments, fed an artificial diet, and monitored every day until the appearance of parasitoids, the advent of Beauveria bassiana, Verticillium lecanii, Metarrhizium sp., and Aspergillus sp., or until they reached adulthood. In total, 162 of the 371 larvae that were collected—or 43.66%—were attacked by parasitoids and entomopathogens. With parasitoids emerging from 129% of the larvae, the prevalence of parasitism by parasitoids was 2.98%. Archytas marmoratus (Diptera: Tachinidae) and Pristomerus sp. (Ichneumonidae) were the parasitoids discovered The two parasitoids that were most frequently found had an impact on 0.17% and 0.05% of the total larvae collected, respectively. Additionally, four types of entomopathogenic fungi were discovered: 0.13%, 0.27%, 0.23%, and 0.13% parasitism for Metarhizium sp., Beauveria bassiana, Verticillium lecanii, and Aspergillus sp., respectively.
