Response of Trichogramma brassicae to increasing temperature using molecular and biological methods [PDF]
The increase in the earth temperature is one of the latest problems threatening the earth ecosystem. Insects as poikilothermic organisms have a high dependence on their environment's temperature so increasing global temperature makes impressions on their

Evaluation of asexual Wolbachia-infected Trichogramma brassicae performance in greenhouse and field conditions [PDF]
In some Trichogramma species, parthenogenesis is mostly induced by intracellular symbiotic Wolbachia bacteria. Populations of this egg parasitoid wasp that produce more female progeny can potentially have higher fitness.

Performance Test and Parameter Optimization of Trichogramma Delivery System
Trichogramma is a small wasp that is a natural enemy of many agricultural pests. Although Trichogramma can be used in sustainable crop production, conventional methods of delivering Trichogramma to fields are expensive and may cause pollution.

The state of commercial augmentative biological control: plenty of natural enemies, but a frustrating lack of uptake [PDF]
Augmentative biological control concerns the periodical release of natural enemies. In com- mercial augmentative biological control, natural enemies are mass-reared in biofactories for release in large numbers to obtain an immediate control of pests. The
