- Observation A. certus parasitized fewer avirulent than virulent aphids on resistant soybean.
- Observation A. certus parasitized fewer avirulent aphids on resistant than susceptible soybean.
- Observation A. glycinis parasitism did not vary among treatments.
- Observation Parasitoid emergence rates were high and did not vary with treatment.
- Observation Parasitoid progeny sex ratios did not vary with soybean resistance or aphid virulence.
- Observation Female and male A. certus progeny body mass did not vary with treatment.
