The aim of this work was to isolate the larval parasitoid Bracon sp. from Egyptian olive, exploring the extend of its potentiality and suitability as a biocontrol agent could be integrated in the future with Trichogramma egg parasitoid that is widely used in combating olive lepidopterans or any other control measure.
