The functional response of parasite Neochrysochans okazakii Kamijo on the vegetable leafminer Liriamyza sativae Blanchard

The functional response between N.okazakii and L.sativae in small cages could be described as Holling I.However, when different density of leafminer existed in the large cage.the parasite gave a random response to the density of the leafminer,and the mortality of the leafminer was not aggregated in high density leave.There was an interference among parasites.
