The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of
biological control of sugarcane stem borer (Chilo infuscatellus
Snellen) with an egg parasite Trichogramma chilonis in sugarcane
crop. Experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design
with five treatments i.e. (T1; 30,000eggs/acre, T2;
40,000eggs/acre, T3; 50,000, T4; 60,000 eggs per acre and T5;
Control) having three replications each. Experiment was conducted
at Chack No.109 G.B. near Jaranwala, District Faisalabad, Punjab.
Data regarding mean infestation was recorded at the same time from
the control plot and from the biologically treated plots at
fortnightly intervals starting from July 15, 2005 to October 15,
2005. The results revealed that the infestation of sugarcane stem
borer was reduced up to 84% when Trichogramma chilonis eggs were
applied at the rate of 60,000 eggs per acre. So it is concluded
that Trichogramma chilonis (Egg parasitized) can successfully be
used for the suppression of sugarcane stem borer.
