Abstract
Using Sitotroga cerealella as host, more than sixteen million parasites of the species Trichogramma minutum Riley were reared in the laboratories of the Louisiana Experiment Station. These parasites were used experimentally in fields of corn and sugarcane for control of the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis . Colonizations of Trichogramma during June 1928 in five localities resulted in marked increases in percentages of Diatraea eggs parasitized.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
