by the United States Agency for International Development
under Cooperative Agreement No. AID- OAA-A-13-00047
with the Kansas State University Feed the Future Collaborative
Research on Sorghum and Millet Innovation Lab (SMIL). The
project was implemented by ICRISAT and partner institutions (University Dan Dicko Dankoulodo of Maradi, Virginia
Polytechnic Institute and State University) as part of the
CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland
Cereals (GLDC-CRP). The authors are also grateful to farmers
who graciously allow collecting data in their millet fields.","The effectiveness of the egg parasitoid
Trichogrammatoidea armigera Nagaraja (Hymenoptera:
Trichogrammatidae) in controlling Heliocheilus
albipunctella de Joannis (Lepidoptera:
Noctuidae), a major insect pest of pearl millet in the
Sahel was assessed during two consecutive years in
Niger on-station and on-farm conditions. We found
that released T. armigera were able to find and
parasitize host eggs within pearl millet fields both onstation
and in farmers’ fields. On-station releases of T.
armigera led to an average 4.86-fold increase in T.
armigera parasitism compared to control fields, where
no parasitoids were released. Likewise, on-farm
releases of T. armigera led to up to 5.31-fold more
egg parasitism by T. armigera in release fields than in
control. Our results suggest the effectiveness of T.
armigera and lays the groundwork for using T.armigera in augmentative biological control of H.
albipunctella in the Sahel.","2020-04","published",,"BioControl (TSI)","65","4","Springer",,"389-399",,,,,,"doi:10.1007/s10526-020-10015-0",,,,,"TRUE",,"1386-6141",,,,,,"","https://doi.org/10.1007/s10526-020-10015-0","https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=10.1007%2Fs10526-020-10015-0&btnG=","",,"","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
