There was statistically no significant
difference on the number of emerged moths on paper bag compared to jute bag. All sentinel egg patches
were visited by T. evanescens. There was no correlation between the distance (10e30 cm) at which the
sentinel egg cards were placed away from the T. evanescens release point and the number of parasitized
C. cephalonica eggs. There was no decrease in parasitism over time. The results demonstrate that
T. evanescens has the potential for host-location ability and parasitism of C. cephalonica both on paper and
jute bags. This parasitoid could be a promising candidate for the biological control of moth pests in
bagged stored products.
