| description | In Tunisia, the use of the egg parasitoid trichogrammatid wasps to cope with several economic pests is gaining
increasing attention. Trichogramma bourarachae (Pintureau & Babault) is among the Trichogramma wasps naturally
present in Tunisia and regarded as a potential natural enemy to be used in biological control programs of many
lepidopteran pests that cause economic losses. The propensity of T. bourarachae to cold storage with and without
diapause induction was studied. The effect of this technique on its emergence rate and parasitic activity was
investigated. The study showed that wasps of T. bourarachae treated at the induction temperature of 15 °C for
5 days can be stored at 4 ± 1 °C for more than 30 days without significant loss of their performances. By using this
prestorage temperature, T. bourarachae could keep its emergence capacity (77.5%) up to 60 days of cold storage at
4 ± 1 °C. However, its parasitic activity decreased significantly (37.16%) after 45 days of cold storage. These results
are promising for its mass production, transport, and release in the framework of national campaigns to control
several agricultural pests of economic importance. |
