AI-generated Abstract

The study investigates the diversity of parasitoids associated with the fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, in a traditional maize cropping system in the Mexican state of Yucatan. Collecting data from larval populations over a three-month period, the research identifies four parasitoid species: Lespesia archippivora, Archytas marmoratus, Winthemia sp., and Euplectrus plathypenae, marking the first report of these parasitoids in this region.
