Aphids are a serious pest for peach crops. They have traditionally been managed with
insecticides, but there is increasing concern about the risk that insecticides pose to both humans
and the environment. As a first step to use biological control in aphid management, we conducted
a 3-year field survey in northeastern Spain to determine which parasitoids and hyperparasitoids
were most prevalent on two aphids, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and Hyalopterus spp. Koch, the most
harmful to peach trees. We collected 11 parasitoid species from M. persicae, with Aphidius matricariae
(Haliday) being the most abundant. Two parasitoid species were also collected from Hyalopterus spp.,
Aphidius transcaspicus Telenga and Praon volucre (Haliday). Hyperparasitoid species overlapped
between these aphids but their relative abundances differed. We also discuss the possible impacts
of hyperparasitoids on parasitoid populations. Our results suggest that it would be feasible to
implement biocontrol methods for aphids in integrated pest management programmes in peach
orchards. There are a number of primary parasitoid species associated with these aphids, and the
nearby crops and wild vegetation in the vicinity and within the orchards may provide a suitable
habitat for them. Additionally, some of them are commercially available and might be usable in
augmentative releases
