Recent findings on the basic biology of insect pasaitoids are providing new ideas that may help increase the role these aiganasms play to pest insect control. Potential new approaches include behavioral manipulation with semiochemicals and artificial culture techniques that may allow economical mass production of parasitoids for release. Genetic improvement of parasitoids might also be achieved through genetic engineering. [Accepted for publication 24 August 1984) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
