(Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). 5-Aza-dC-treated parasitoids required 1-18 d longer than controls to complete development. In contrast, egg-to-adult developmental time of treated A. grisella was not longer than untreated hosts. Adult longevity and size of the parasitoid species decreased because of 5-Aza-dC application. Likewise, the total number of offspring produced by wasps was reduced > 50% in all treatment groups. The sex ratio of adults was in favor of males in 5-Aza-dC-treated groups.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessApanteles GalleriaeAchroia Grisella5-Aza-DcToxicityRisk AssessmentArticle
