Trichogramma in Sugar Cane Borer Control

This document summarizes research on using the parasitic wasp Trichogramma to control sugarcane borers. It discusses multiple studies from the 1930s-2000s in locations like Louisiana, Mexico, Pakistan, and Reunion Island. The studies found that releases of Trichogramma species like T. minutum, T. chilonis, and T. galloi helped reduce sugarcane borer populations and damage. Trichogramma was shown to be an effective biological control agent against these important sugarcane pests.
