As H. hebetor survival is somehow challenging during the nine month long off-season when the host, H. albipunctella is in diapause, there needs to be a sufficient supply of parasitoids for fresh release each year. Therefore, the aim of this study was to establish a small-scale parasitoid rearing process adjusted to the Sahel conditions that can be scaled-up as necessary. We conducted experiments to fine-tune and standardize the rearing technique of H. hebetor for cottage industrial use. The results showed that parasitoids fed with 30% honey solution and supplied daily with one late-larval-stage Corcyra cephalonica Stainton (Lepidotera, Pyralidae) produced highest number of progeny. The optimal times for mating and egg fertilization, was achieved when a male and female pair was confined for 24 h in a 30-cc vial. Our findings indicated that, compared with the conventional rearing method -2 females supplied once with 25 C. cephalonica larvae-, this new method resulted in 14-times greater parasitoid production. Furthermore parasitoid female can be stored for up to three weeks at fluctuating 23–32°C temperature and 25%–80% relative humidity for numbers accumulations prior to on-farm augmentative releases without altering its fitness.","2019","published",,"International Journal of Tropical Insect Science (TSI)",,,"Springer",,"1-9",,,,,,"10.1007/s42690-019-00005-w",,,,,"TRUE",,"1742-7584",,,,,,"","https://doi.org/10.1007/s42690-019-00005-w","https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Towards+development+of+a+parasitoid+cottage+industry+of+the+parasitoid+wasp+Habrobracon+hebetor+%28say%29%3A+optimum+rearing+and+releases+conditions+for+successful+biological+control+of+the+millet+head+miner+Heliocheilus+albipunctella+%28De+Joannis%29+in+the+Sahel&btnG=","pub",,"McKnight Foundation","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
