"The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae),\r\nis an insect native to the tropical and subtropical Americas that has recently spread to Africa,\r\nwhere it predominately attacks maize, sorghum and other plant species. Biological control is\r\nan environmentally friendly way of combatting the pest and contributes to an integrated pest\r\nmanagement approach. In Africa, several trichogrammatid parasitoids and Telenomus remus Nixon\r\n(Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) have been found parasitizing eggs of the FAW. In Niger, the egg\r\nparasitoids encountered include Trichogrammatoidea sp. (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) and\r\nTelenomus remus Nixon. Parasitism of the FAW eggs by the two egg parasitoids was assessed in\r\nthe laboratory, followed by field testing on sentinel eggs. In the laboratory, T. remus parasitized on\r\naverage 78% of FAWeggs, compared to 25% for Trichogrammatoidea sp. Telenomus remus was able to\r\nparasitize egg masses that were fully covered with scales, while Trichogrammatoidea sp. parasitized\r\nonly uncovered egg masses. On-farm releases of T. remus in sorghum fields caused up to 64% of FAW\r\negg parasitism. Parasitized eggs yielded viable progeny, which can contribute to FAW egg parasitism\r\nbuild-up during the cropping season. Our findings lay the groundwork for the use of T. remus in\r\naugmentative releases against FAW in Africa."^^ . "2020-07" . . . "11" . "7" . . "MDPI"^^ . . . "Insects (TSI)"^^ . . .
