Trichograma japonicum is a minute wasp or parasitoid which lays around 100,000 to 120,000 eggs during its life cycle.[citation needed]
It is the best biological method of control for , which is the most common pest found in paddies.[1]
Trichograma japonicum interferes with the eggs laid by rice stem borer and damage by this pest is reduced to a large extent.[2]
