Egg‐age dependent parasitism by <scp> <i>Trichogramma chilonis</i> </scp> : implications for host‐use pattern and strategy of parasitoid in biological control on <scp> <i>Phthorimaea operculella</i> </scp>
Trichogramma chilonis perform best on 24-72-h-old PTM eggs, and oviposition preference exhibits behavioral plasticity. This reveals the host-use pattern and oviposition strategy linked to offspring performance in T. chilonis, providing implications for its application in the biological control of PTM. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
