Abstract

Field studies were conducted to evaluate the augmentative releases of egg parasitoids, Trichogramma chilonis in conjunction with pheromones to suppress the infestation of cotton bollworms. Studies revealed that integrated treatment of parasitoids in combination with pheromones, suppressed the bollworms infestation effectively. Separate treatment of pheromones or parasitoids was less effective, and required supplemental measures. The population of the parasitoids was low in the hot months of June and July; thereafter it gradually increased in the proceeding months. Maximum number of the parasitoids was observed in the month of October. The cotton bollworm management cost by the application of pheromones, PB/SB-ROPE in combination with the parasitoids was less than insecticide treatments.
