<p>Influence of rearing temperature on biological parameters of <em>Trichogramma chilonis</em> (Ishii) was studied under laboratory conditions during 2017-18. Maximum per cent parasitization and adult emergence of 74.2% and 78.91%, respectively was observed at 25+1°C followed by 71.8% and 65.21 % at 30±1°C. However, the temperature of 40+1°C was found detrimental to<em> T. chilonis</em> recording only 20.2% parasitization, the progeny of which has failed to complete the development and the adults could not emerge out. The developmental period was maximum (8 days) at 25+1°C. Also, maximum male and female longevity (5 and 12 Days, respectively) and maximum mean per day fecundity of 17 eggs per female/day were recorded at 25+1°C. The progeny was found to be male dominated with a female-male ratio of <em>T. chilonis</em> to be 0.69, 0.74 and 0.96 at 25, 30 and 35°C, respectively.</p>
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
