It is a resistant to most insecticides and even to Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner) and biological control is a strategy to be considered. trichogramma (Hymenoptera: trichogrammatidae) present some obvious advantages for use in biological control. These egg parasitoids can easily be reared on a facilitious host and are found naturally on P. xylostella (Tabone et al, 2000).
