Sampling were made on the basis of main phenological development stages (vegetative growth, generative growth and maturation) of corn plant at intervals of 7-15 days in main crop corn fields between the months of June-September in the second crop corn between the months of July-October. In each corn field 10 different points and  a total of 100 plants were sampled. &lt;/p&gt; Natural parasitization rates of Lepidoptera larvae were determined as &lt;em&gt; Acantholeucania loreyi &lt;/em&gt;Duponchel 12,5-31,8 % in Adıyaman; &lt;em&gt;Agrotis &lt;/em&gt; sp. 16,7-33.3 %, &lt;em&gt;A. loreyi &lt;/em&gt; 0,0-23,1 % in Batman; &lt;em&gt;A. loreyi &lt;/em&gt; 25-41,6 % &lt;em&gt;Sesamia &lt;/em&gt; sp. 1,5-8,6 %; &lt;em&gt;Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn &lt;/em&gt;4,8 &lt;em&gt;. &lt;/em&gt;-0,0% in Diyarbakır; &lt;em&gt;A. loreyi &lt;/em&gt; 16,2-30,3 %; &lt;em&gt; Sesamia &lt;/em&gt; sp. 10,2-5,0%; &lt;em&gt; Spodoptera exigua &lt;/em&gt;(Hübn.)7,4-3,8% in Mardin; &lt;em&gt;A. loreyi &lt;/em&gt; 28,1-11,4%; &lt;em&gt; Sesamia &lt;/em&gt; sp. 2,9-2,4 %; &lt;em&gt; O. nubilalis &lt;/em&gt;18,5-0,0%; &lt;em&gt; Agrotis &lt;/em&gt; sp. 15,4-0,0% and &lt;em&gt;S. exigua &lt;/em&gt;0,0-2,1% in Şanlıurfa}, number={3}, publisher={TARIM VE ORMAN BAKANLIĞI EĞİTİM VE YAYIN DAİRESİ BAŞKANLIĞI}
