“Telenomus dignus is a recognised scelionid egg parasitoid of Scirpophaga incertulas in South Asian rice agroecosystems and represents a valid third-trophic-level biocontrol relationship.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Egg parasitism of Scirpophaga incertulas (yellow stem borer) by Telenomus spp. is well documented in Indian rice IPM literature; mechanism and host-parasitoid pairing are biologically correct.”
