| Popis: | Sugarcane moth borer pests in Thailand include the crambids Chilo infuscatellus Snellen, Chilo sacchariphagus (Bojer), Chilo tumidicostalis (Hampson) and Scirpophaga excerptalis (Walker) and the noctuid Sesamia inferens (Walker). The economic impact of the larval endoparasitoid, Cotesia flavipes (Cameron) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) was studied through field experiments and benefit–cost analysis. Augmentative biological control research was conducted over two consecutive cropping seasons (2009–2011) to compare yields and net income of sugarcane between plots where C. flavipes was released every month (1250 adults/ha) and plots without releases. In treated plots, significantly (P |
