The present investigation on the parasitic potential of T. japonicum was undertaken during the year 2019-20 at the Bio-control Laboratory, Department of Agricultural Entomology, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari (Gujarat). The results showed that the parasitic potential (F 0) of T. japonicum was maximum (82.65 ± 6.86%) on Corcyra eggs as com...

Present study was carried to know the effective storage period of trichocards parasitized by T. japonicum when stored at low temperature of 13 ± 1°C. The results pointed out that adult emergence (F0), adult longevity (F0) and egg parasitization (F1) of T. japonicum decreased with increase in the storage period from 5 to 50 days. Moreover, the paras...

Trichogramma species constitute one of the most commonly used bio agent of natural enemies for biological control programs worldwide. Trichogramma sp. are very difficult to identify because of their tiny size and uniform morphological characters. The present investigation aims to study several aspects of the biological attributes and morphological...

The population dynamics of fruit fly Bactrocera zonata Saunders (Diptera: Tephritidae) was carried out by installing "Nauroji-Stonehouse Fruit Fly Trap" in the mango orchard of organic farm, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari, Gujarat, India during the period 2021-22. The population of B. zonata prevailed throughout the year in mango orchard...

Trichogramma japonicum Ashmead is one of most important egg parasitoid found in rice and cotton ecosystem. But indiscriminate use of pesticide not only reduces its population but also limits parasitic potential of such potent parasitoid. Thereby, disrupt the ecological balance. Therefore, this study was conducted to check the relative toxicity of s...

The present investigation was undertaken to evaluate the contact toxicity of seven different insecticides against female adult of Trichogramma japonicum. The results indicated that none of the insecticide was found safer except control treatment to the female of T. japonicum under contact toxicity trial during the present investigation. However, in...
