Table 2. Effect of Bemisia argentifolii instar parasitized on the longevity of Encarsia formosa adults.

| Host instar |
Longevity (Days ± S.E.) |
| 1st |
1.82 ±0.35a |
| 2nd |
1.89 ± 0.38a |
| 3rd |
1.94 ± 0.43a |
| 4th |
1.89 ± 0.40a |

Days of parasitoid adult survival served as a measure of adult longevity. Each value represents the mean ± S. E. of at least 150 separate determinations. A one-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey HSD post hoc test (  0.05) was used to determine if there were significant differences in longevity of E. formosa based on the host instar parasitized. Means followed by the same letter are not significantly different.
