—
by
This document presents a biological control method against the millet head miner (Heliocheilus albipunctella) in the Sahel using the egg parasitoid Trichogrammatoidea armigera. It details a low-cost mass-rearing technique based on sterilized eggs of Corcyra cephalonica and explains implementation steps, field release, and observed impacts such as increased parasitism rates and improved yields.
