Trichograma japonicum is a minute wasp or parasitoid which lays around 100,000 to 120,000 eggs during its life cycle.
It is the best biological method of control for rice stem borer which is the most common pest found in paddy.[1]
Trichograma japonicum interferes with the eggs laid by rice stem borer and damage by this pest is reduced to a large extent.[2]
