Cydia pomonella is a major pest in apples in Denmark. Trichogramma spp. are known biocontrol agents of C. pomonella eggs and two naturally occurring species in Denmark, which are also both commercially available, were chosen for mass-release trials. Trichogramma evanescens, T. cacoeciae or a mix of the two species were evaluated for mass-release to control C. pomonella in two commercial organic...

Trichogramma Westwood (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) cause high mortality rates in the potentially resistant pest species, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), and are considered integral to the resistance management plan for Bacillus thuringiensis transgenic cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., production in the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA), WesternAustralia.Measured as perc...

Egg parasitoids of the genus Trichogramma are the most widely used natural enemy for biological pest control in the world. Their use is restricted to lepidopterous pest species. Due to relatively cheap mass rearing systems employing factitious host species, Trichogramma are usually applied for inundative biological control: repeated releases of high numbers of parasitoids aiming at a direct con...

Possibilities to combine augmentative biological control using Trichogramma spp. egg parasitoids and conservation through habitat manipulation, for the management of rice leaffolder stemborer pests have received only cursory mention in literature. We reviewed information on use releases manipulation manage leaffolders stemborers rice. Stemborers become a priority since 1990s with research focus...
