(Also known as: Minute egg parasitoid; Trichogramm) |
The following alerts are based on the data in the tables below. An absence of an alert does not imply the substance has no implications for human health, biodiversity or the environment but just that we do not have the data to form a judgement.

A parasitoid of Lepidopteran eggs that may be used for the biocontrol of caterpillar pests |
|
Codling moth (Cydia pomonella) |
|
Top fruit; Grapes |

|
A tiny pale yellow wasp about 0.5mm long. Female lays her eggs inside a newly laid lepidopteran egg. As the wasp egg hatches it consumes the host egg, developing inside the egg case. It emerges as an adult thus distrupting the moth lifecycle. |
