Habrobracon hebetor )Hym:Braconidae) is one of the most beneficial agents in biological programs in Iran.It could control so many pests such as Helicoverpa sp., Spodoptera exigua, Antigastra sp. etc. in important crops such as Cotton, Corn, Tomato, Sesame, Bean and vegetables.Bracon production in Iranian Insectariums is performing using five methods, Plastic Glass, Cabin, Plastic Venus, Plastic pan and Aquarium.Rearing method could be effective on biological pests control programs. The aim of current study was investigation of rearing method effects on produced biological control agents.At the first, female parasitoids were gathered from field and reared for f2 using mentioned five methods.All data were subjected to One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and when significant differences among treatments were found, the means were compared by using Duncan’s multiple comparisons test with a 99% level of significance.Mean Bracon production significantly affected by (P < 0.01) and the highest Mean Bracon production was observed in the Aquarium 8636 and there was a significant difference between this level with the other groups.According to the results, the highest female percent was obtained in the Aquarium 75 and indicated considerable differences with other treatments.Laid egg for each parasitoid increased significantly (P < 0.01) in in the Aquarium 13.The highest daily reproduction mean for each parasitoid was obtained in the the Aquarium 25, Plastic Glass 23 and Plastic Venus 20 and indicated significant differences with Plastic pan and Cabin 14.Survey ability of five methods produced parasitoids were performed and indicated that Aquarium parasitoids host survey ability (137 m) was more than Glass parasitoids (7 m).According to produced populations and production costs, it could be concluded that Aquarium method costs is 60% of other methods in same population. According to obtained results, Bracon production using Aquarium method was more quantitatively reasonable and economical than other production methods; also produced wasps in the Aquarium method had more host survey ability than the others. This characteristic is so important for biological control operators.
