Overview

Field trials evaluated the effectiveness of trichogramma chilonis against pink bollworm in cotton, suggesting it as a viable biological control method.

Key Points

  • Releasing trichogramma chilonis significantly reduced pink bollworm infestation in cotton flowers and bolls.
  • Control plots exhibited a 10.67% and 18.91% infestation on flowers and bolls, respectively.
  • The experiment utilized a density of two cards of T. chilonis on 1/4 acre, showing potential for sustainable pest management.
  • Periodic releases of T. chilonis are recommended as an effective bio-control strategy against pink bollworm.
