Study on The Identification of Parasitoids and Predators of White Fly on Mulberry Plant was conducted at Bogor, Sukabumi and Tasikmalaya as well as Pati and Candiroto on sericulture developing centers of West Java and Central Java, respectively. The main objectives of the study were to confirm the species of white fly and also to confirm whether there is any parasitoid as well as predator attacking the pest in all the study sites. To achieve the targeted output of the study the following methods were conducted. The collected whiteflies from all study sites were send to entomological laboratory of Bogor Agriculture University, while the collected parasitoids and predator were send to National Entomological Museum at Bogor.
