Collected samples were put in petri dishes for parasitoids emergence in the conditions of 28±1 °C, 65±10% RH and a photoperiod of 16L:8D h. in laboratory. In the results of the study, parasitoids species Aprostocetus neglectus Domenichini (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), Homalotylus flaminius Dalman (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), Pachyneuron aphidis Bouche and P. muscarum Linnaeus (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) were found.
