“…Since 1975, several species of Trichogramma have been used to control pests of over 20 different crops (e.g., cotton, sugar-beet, cabbage, corn, rice, sugar-cane, soybean), in more than 50 countries from all over the world being reported to be used commercially on more than 32 million ha each year (Li-Ying, 1994;Smith, 1996). Although there are almost 20 years apart between the reviews made by Stinner (1977) and by Smith (1996), both authors emphasise on integrating Trichogramma with other control options, particularly in combination with selective insecticides. Aphid parasitoids (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) are also well recognized worldwide for their importance in controlling aphid pests within a range of cropping system, with more than 400 different species documented.…”

“…Trichogramma wasps are known to attack eggs of more than 400 species, mainly of the order Lepidoptera (Li, 1994;Polaszek, 2010;Smith, 1996;Stinner, 1977). Trichogramma wasps are generally considered as polyphagous, although the level of polyphagy is likely to vary between and even within species in nature (Pinto & Stouthamer, 1994).…”

Parasitoid wasps of the genus Trichogramma are used worldwide as biological control agents against lepidopteran pests. Trichogramma wasps develop inside eggs of a wide range of host species, most of them moths. They are generally considered as diurnal insects. Here, we investigated whether Trichogramma wasps can also successfully parasitise host eggs at night under controlled laboratory conditions. Eggs of the moth Ephestia kuehniella were offered under dark conditions (scotophase) to females of Trichogramma brassicae and

“…Trichogrammatid egg parasitoids are considered to be the most useful biological control agents for inundative releases against lepidopterous pests (Stinner 1977;King et al 1986;Ravensberg and Berger 1988;Alba 1990;Singh and Jalali 1994). In India, mass releases of Trichogramma spp.…”

Laboratory studies were carried out to compare the toxicity of the chloronicotinyl insecticide, imidacloprid on parasitoids. The studies took place at the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore from 2006-2007. Imidacloprid was tested against three beneficial insects viz., an egg parasitoid, egg larval parasitoid and a larval parasitoid representing two families of Hymenoptera:Trichogrammatidae (Trichogramma chilonis Ishii) and Braconidae (Chelonus blackburni Cameron; Bracon hebetor Say) that attack insect pests of cotton. The toxicity of imidacloprid was evaluated by treating the parasitized eggs using an atomizer in the case of T. chilonis and glass scintillation vial residue bioassay method for the adults of C. blackburni and B. hebetor. The toxicity of imidacloprid to parasitoids was compared with another neonicotinoid, named thiamethoxam, and a standard check, methyl demeton. Imidacloprid 17.8 SL did not cause any adverse effects on the adult emergence and parasitization of T. chilonis. At the recommended dose of imidacloprid [25 g active substance (a.s.)/ha], 90.67 and 85.32 per cent adult emergence and parasitization was recorded, respectively. The recommended dose of imidacloprid caused 56 per cent mortality and was found to have moderate impact on the adults of C. blackburni. On the other hand, it was found to be toxic to the parasitoid B. hebetor, causing 70 per cent mortality at 48 hours after treatment (HAT). The data presented here will provide pest managers with specific information on the compatibility of selected insecticides with natural enemies attacking pests of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L.
