This article presents the culmination of extensive research efforts focusing on the in vitro breeding of parasitic entomophages, specifically Trichogramma pintoi, Trichogramma evenecens, Trichogramma embryophagum, and Bracon hebetor Say. This research aimed to determine the optimal conditions for breeding these parasitic entomophages, including air temperature, relative humidity, and dustiness. One of the key findings of the study was the ability to propagate multiple generations of parasitic entomophages in vitro. This discovery has significant implications for the mass production and utilization of these beneficial insects in biological pest control strategies.The research also investigated the ideal environmental conditions for maintaining parasitic entomophages in vitro. The study identified specific ranges of air temperature and relative humidity that are conducive to the survival and reproduction of these insects outside their natural habitat. Understanding these optimal conditions is crucial for the successful implementation of in vitro breeding programs for parasitic entomophages. The study examined the dustiness of the environment in which the parasitic entomophages were bred. Dustiness can have a significant impact on the health and reproductive success of these insects, so determining the optimal levels of dustiness is essential for maintaining healthy breeding populations.
