Extract

Anagyrus beneficians, Compere, obtained in small numbers from shipments of other parasites from Uganda, proved to breed readily in the laboratory.

Numbers were reared, liberated and established on mealybug in coffee districts and native reserves in Kenya.

It is one of several parasites responsible for a marked reduction in the severity of the mealybug.
