Abstract

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the biological characteristics and the capacity of 20 strains of Trichogramma pretiosum R. (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) to accept and develop through the eggs of Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidóptera: Noctuidae). The strains Lsg₁, Lsg₁₁ and Lsg₁₈ were more effective in parasitizing and developing through the eggs of S. frugiperda. The strains Lsg₁₁ and Lsg₁₈ presented a great aggressiveness and preference for the natural host even after having been developed for several generations in alternative host, Anagasta kuehniella Zeller.
