Abstract

Vietnam is a tropical country with high diversity in insect distribution along the country. Rice, vegetables, maize, and beans are grown in all the country and share almost the same pest and parasitoids although the weather range is much different among the country. Long (2011) has listed about 300 species of parasitic braconids in agricultural landscapes in Vietnam and they are playing very important for biological control of insect pests. The short review provides some information on the diversity of parasitic braconids in Vietnam, molecular phylogenetic analysis of the world and the different behavior strategy.
