Three species of parasitic Hymenoptera have been released in an effort to control populations of the emerald ash borer (EAB). The parasitoids have been released in open field releases, in cages on trees to test overwintering, and at sites where detailed life-table data were collected. This presentation summarizes the within-season reproduction, overwintering, and establishment of two larval parasitoids, (Spathius agrili and Tetrastichus planipennisi) and the egg parasitoid (Oobius agrili).
