[Aim] The study examined the potential of cold temperature for the storage of the biological control Habrobracon hebetor, so as to provide a basis for the application of H. hebetor in biological control.[Method] The four stages (egg, larva, pupa and adult) of the parasitoid H. hebetor were stored at -4, 0, 4, 10℃ and their survival rates were observed to determine the optimum cold storage stage and temperature. Then, the life parameters of the parasitoid were determined under the optimum cold storage conditions.[Results] The median lethal time (T₅₀) showed that the optimum cold storage condition for the parasitoid were pupa stage at 10℃. The survival rate was 75.25% after 12 days of cold storage. After cold storage at 10℃, the fecundity and sex ratio decreased significantly. While the average value gradually recovered after 3 days of cold storage. There was no significant difference in the developmental duration of the parasioid after cold storage.[Conclusion] The parasitoid could still be used after 12 days cold storage at 10℃ in the pupal stage, which provided a basic information for the application of the parasitoid in biological control.
