Summary: Classical biological control 1) OSU researchers collected in So. Korea and parasitoids reared are currently in the UCB Quarantine; 2) 4-5 parasitoid species were recovered, with all species easily reared on SWD and one species appearing to be a specialist on SWD 3) Focus now is to conduct quarantine studies, obtain USDA APHIS release permits.
