Abstract

Insect gall inducers are important pests on eucalyptus that formed galls on leaves, twigs, and roots. Many eucalyptus clones have been cultivated and planted for timber production in Sumatera. A study of eucalyptus clone resistance to leaf galls was done in Mt. Mutis, East Nusa Tenggara Province. One of the aims of the study was to identify the parasitoids associated with gall inducers on eucalyptus clones. The research was conducted from October 2017 to July 2018. Fifty-seven clones with 15 plants for each clone were planted in Mt. Mutis, NTT. Galls were observed in the field biweekly for its characteristics and occurrences. Individual galls were collected for rearing to obtain the gall inducers and parasitoids. There were three species of parasitoids identified from two gall inducers. The parasitoid Eurytoma sp. (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) emerged from the gall caused by Fergusonina sp. (Diptera: Fergusoninidae) and Ophelimus sp. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), Bracon sp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) emerged from the gall caused by Fergusonina sp., and Megastigmus sp. (Hymenoptera: Torymidae) emerged from the gall caused by Ophelimus sp. Parasitoid with the highest population was Eurytoma sp. on the gall inducer Ophelimus sp. The basic information of the parasitoids and their hosts on eucalyptus is very valuable data for the development of a biological control program on eucalyptus.
