Abstract
⺠Biocontrol-relevant parasitoid characteristics can vary within field populations. ⺠Parasitoid and host emergence time varied between apple cultivars (plant genotypes). ⺠Parasitoid size varied between apple cultivars and with distance to forest. ⺠Parasitoid sex ratio was related to fruit tree cultivar, tree position and ants. ⺠Cultivar selection and ant management may enhance biological control by parasitoids.
