(dead link) During the years of 1998 to 2001, the eggs, larvae and pupae stages of the Lepidoptera defoliator species were collected from the cabbage crops of the South Eastern region of Romania (Pieris brassicae L., Pieris rapae L. - Pieridae; Plutella xylostella L. - Plutellidae; Mamestra brassicae L., Autographa gamma L. and Helicoverpa armigera Hbn. - Noctuidae) in order to obtain parasitoid species. The paper presents the interaction among the parasitoids belonging to the parasitoid complex which limits the lepidopteran defoliators in the cabbage crops. There were identified 27 primary parasitoid and 13 hyperparasitoid species. New host-parasitoid relationships were found out for science and for Romania. The dynamics as well as the interrelationships established among the parasitoid species are emphasized in the present paper.
