Abstract: In the integrated pest management of Pieris rapae, release of Phryxe vulgaris is an effective control practice. Field experiment shows that releasing30—60 pairs of tachinid flies per hectare, the average parasitized rate of Phryxe vulgaris is 6.8—8.7%, and the emergence rate of tachinid fly is 94.5% when releasing tachinid pupae.
