The Mean

Pteromalus puparum (L.) prepupae within host Pieris rapae (L.) chrysalids could be stored at 10° C and 80% R. H. for periods of up to 15 months and still produce viable progenies. The mean number of P. puparum adults emerging per chrysalis was not different between four months of cold storage and the non-refrigerated control, but declined progressively with duration of cold storage thereafter.

Parasitism Rates

Pieris brassicae great white butterfly was first detected in New Zealand in May 2010 in Nelson and since November 2012 has been the target of a Department of Conservation eradication programme Methods were available for killing P brassicae eggs larvae and adults but not pupae To assist eradication a parasitoid of P brassicae pupae Pteromalus puparum was mass reared at Lincoln and released at Nelson locations where there was a high probability of P brassicae pupae being present To avoid transporting P brassicae from Nelson to Lincoln Pt puparum was reared on another of its hosts Pieris rapae which occurs throughout New Zealand Between late February and early April 2015 an estimated 14280 Pt puparum adults from 837 parasitised P rapae pupae were released in Nelson However parasitism of unparasitised P rapae pupae which were used as sentinels for monitoring parasitism rates remained low Although evidence of the releases being effective was weak augmenting Pt puparum populations remains the most practical method for increasing the mortality of P brassicae pupae in Nelson
