ABSTRACT
More than 144,000 adult Trichogrammatoidea bactrae, (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) were released in short staple, Pima 5-6 cotton (Gossypium barbadense L.) in Sewer Farm (SF), New Mexico State, USA. Total parasitization in Pink bollworm (Pectinophora gossypiella S., Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae, PBW) eggs in two replications was 14.72% and 18.53% respectively.
