COMPETITION BETWEEN TWO BIOCONTROL AGENTS ATTACKING THE THRIPS, GYNAIKOTHIPS FICORUM (MARCHAL) (THYSANOPTERA: PHLAEOTHRIPIDAE), INFESTING THE CUBAN LAUREL, FICUS NITIDA THUNB., IN EGYPT

Abstract The insect fauna is present in the curled Cuban laurel leaf (Ficus nitida Thunb.) infested with the Cuban laurel thrips, Gynaikothrips ficorum Marchal (Thysanoptera: Phlaeothripidae), in Giza, Egypt, which included pests, predators, and parasitoids.The present study dealt with the presence of two natural enemies of G.ficorum, i.e., the ant
