Highlights: [•] A community including only one hyper- and two primary hymenoptera parasitoids. [•] Parasitoids vs. hyperparasitoid relative abundances enhanced by hedgerow presence. [•] Low parasitism rates on codling moth larvae in commercial apple orchards. [•] Parasitism rate depending on protection practices at local and landscape levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
