Egg Parasitoids of Fruit Crop Pests
2013Among the temperate fruit crops, there is a good scope for biocontrol of the codling moth with repeated release of Trichogramma embryophagum Htg., while the Indian gypsy moth is subjected to varying levels of natural parasitisation by Anastatus kashmirensis Mathur.

Egg Parasitoids in Legume Crops Ecosystem
2013In India, legume crops as targets for biocontrol include pigeon pea, chickpea, pea, black gram, groundnut, soybean and lucerne. The egg parasitoids occurring in or used for biocontrol in legume crop ecosystem in India are mainly Scelionids (Telenomus sp.) and Trichogrammatids (Trichogramma, 14 species; Trichogrammatoidea, 7 species), besides the ...

Insect egg deposition induces Pinus sylvestris to attract egg parasitoids
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2002SUMMARY Plant volatiles released in response to feeding insects are known to attract enemies of the feeding herbivores. In this study, egg deposition by a herbivorous insect was shown to induce a gymnosperm plant to emit volatiles that attract egg parasitoids.

Diapause in the egg parasitoid Trichogramma cordubensis: role of temperature
Journal of Insect Physiology, 2002The role of temperature in the induction of diapause in Trichogramma cordubensis (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), under controlled laboratory conditions, was investigated using Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) eggs as hosts. Results indicate that prestorage temperatures and the duration of exposure of the parasitoids to these ...

Nutritional Ecology of Insect Egg Parasitoids
2009All animals require food and the food is the major issue that determines the biology of an organism. But there are a number of issues associated with the food that are involved. These include the location, confirmation, consumption, utilization and allocation of the resource (food) to the various aspects of the organism’s life style that determines the

2013
In Sicily, field collections of egg masses of the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera:Pentatomidae), revealed that two solitary parasitoids, Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) and Ooencyrtus telenomicida (Vassiliev) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), can exploit the same egg mass.

Other Egg Parasitoids: Research for Utilisation
2013Among the seven hymenopteran families (other than Trichogrammatidae), which are known to exploit the eggs of pest insects, Scelionidae and Mymaridae are entirely egg parasitoids, while Encyrtidae, Eulophidae, Eupelmidae, Platygasteridae and Tetracampidae include scattered genera and species, a few of which as immatures or adults act as egg predators ...
