    • The recording of Session 2 can be found on the Grow Asia website (here).

    • Hello, we didn't have time to ask the ant question in session 2 but I will reach out to our Chinese experts who have done much work on predators. Their presentation was very interesting on Arma chinensis in our workshop (worth a look). Dr Muniappan did add that: Ants live in colonies. Ants are used in cacao fields (perennial crop) for control of cacao pod borer. In the annual crops, it is difficult to colonize them. If the colonies already exist in the maize fields, then it could be manipulated with sugary solutions.

    • (from our expert Dr Muniappan from Session 2): Factitious hosts angoumois grain moth (Sitotroga cerealella), rice meal moth (Corcyra cephalonica) and Mediterranean flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella) are used for rearing Trichogramma in different parts of the world. In Asia, mostly Corcyra cephalonica is used for Trichogramma rearing. In some labs Telenomus  is reared on C. cephalonica. In labs where they were not able rear on C. cephalonica, they rear them on FAW eggs. In these labs (in Asia), I am recommending to rear T. remus on the eggs of Spodoptera litura as this is easy culture in the lab on castor plant leaves and its larvae are not cannibalistic.

    • Hello Ibrahim, This might be a good session to ask that question: Session 3: Selection and release of parasitoids and predators for mass production and release for FAW control. 28 January 2021 | 10:00 AM SGT (GMT+8) Register Here

    • Hello, great to see the questions coming through and the discussion. I will add these questions to our session tomorrow - which will be 1h45 minutes long. It's a bit longer because we have three main speakers. There will be lot's of great information, however, and it's a good opportunity to ask four international experts all your questions on this topic.
