                    [Title] => Getting rid of cotton bollworms
                    [Summary] => Researchers of the Cotton Development Administration (CODA) have found that a certain kind of wasp kills the cotton bollworm, resulting in higher seed cotton yield.  The insect, called Trichogramma chilonis, is a parasitoid that feeds on the eggs of cotton bollworm.


The researchers — Nenita D. Cacayorin, Leonardo T. Pascua, Magdalena C. Damo and Dr. Edison C. Rinen — reported that with a Trichogramma population density of 67,000 a hectare in the field, 58 to 100 percent of the bollworm eggs are parasitized.
