The present study was conducted for efficient parasitization and efficacy of the three gravid female of Trichogramma chilonis (Ishii) against important lepidopteran pests viz., H. armigera, E. vitella, P. demoleus, A. janata and C. cephalonica, having 24, 48, and 72 hrs old age eggs were exposed to three gravid females of Trichogramma chilonis. Laboratory experiments were carried out at the college of Agriculture, Nagpur and CICR, Nagpur, Maharashtra during Kharif 2015. The results revealed that, the T. chilonis exhibited 86.25% parasitization on 24 hrs old eggs of Helicoverpa armigera, 30.75 average number of adult emergence of T. chilonis in 24 hrs old eggs of Papilio demoleus and 8.50 days required for adult emergence of T. chilonis in 72 hrs old eggs of Papilio demoleus. It is concluded that percent parasitization was more in H. armigera and average number of adult emergence and days required for adult emergence was more in Papilio demoleus as compare to all the 5 treatments. Hence, the H. armigera and Papilio demoleus eggs was more suitable for rearing of parasitoid to get good development of biological parameters of T. chilonis.
