Bioassay was conducted with nine botanical extracts at various concentrations viz., azadirachtin 300ppm, 1500ppm, 3000ppm, 10000ppm, neem seed oil 1%, 2%, 3%, extract 5% and dashparniark 4% on Trichogrammatoidea bactrae Nagaraja (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) in completely randomized design. Assessment of these % parasitization, reduction parasitism adult emergence T. Corcyra eggs done. The r...
