Laboratory and field experiments were conducted during 2015-17 to study the Comparative efficacy of Trichogramma chilonis bred on Corcyra cephalonica and Leucinodes orbonalis (Guennee) eggs in controlling shoot and fruit borer in brinjal in coastal Odisha. Trichogramma chilonis was reared in the eggs of Corcyra cephalonica and Leucinodes orbonalis for 30 generations and the parasitoid was evaluated in field conditions against Brinjal shoot and fruit borer. It was observed that the parasitoid, when reared on eggs of L.orbonalis has shorter life cycle but better efficiency in controlling the pest.
