Pakchoi (Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis) often experiences reduced productivity due to attacks by Plutella xylostella, which can cause damage levels of 30–90% during the growth phase. The purpose of this reasearch was to determine the attraction of the parasitoid Trichogramma to P. xylostella eggs placed on pakchoi plants that had been induced by the entomopathogenic fungus Penicillium citrin…
Plutella xylostella (Linnaeus) (Lepidoptera: Yponomeutidae) is the most destructive insect pest of cruciferous crops and serves as a major limiting factor in Brassicaceae production worldwide. Therefore, this study focused on evaluating the attraction of Trichogramma sp. toward pakchoi plants induced with entomopathogenic endophytic fungi. This research employed seed treatments consisting of si…

The control of pest using insecticide has been known to cause resistance problem, resurgence and the accumulation of pesticide in the harvested crops. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a better and more environmental-friendly pest control measure, such as biological control using entomopathogens, parasitoids and predators. Parasitoid is an insect living as parasite in other insect during it…
