The carob moth Ectomyelois ceratoniae (Lep.: Pyralidae) is the most important pest of pomegranate in Iran which annually causes considerable damages. Trichogramma wasps are one of the main factors in biological control of this pest, which can be used effectively to reduce damage. In this research, biological parameters of three species of Trichogrammatids viz. T. brassicae, T. emryophagum and T. pintoi were evaluated on the carob moth, (E. ceratoniae) eggs under the laboratory conditions. The results showed that reproductive period, postreproductive period and adult life span for T. brassicae reared on the carob moth were 7.8, 0.9, 8.7 days, respectively. These parameters for T. embryophagum were 8.2, 1.00, 9.2 days and for T. pintoi were 7.4, 1.1, 8.5 days, respectively. The studied species lacked pre-reproductive period. The results also showed that gross reproductive rate (GRR), intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm), mean generation time (T) and finite rate of population increase (λ) for T. brassicae reared on the carob moth were 38.021 (eggs), 0.286 (day-1), 12.659 (days), 1.330(day-1), respectively. The above calculated parameters for T. embryophagum reared on the same host were 39.247 (eggs), 0.311 (day-1), 11.659 (days), and 1.365 (day-1), and for T. pintoi they were 28.626 (eggs), 0.262 (day-1), 12.558 (days), and 1.300 (day-1), respectively, that was significantly different. It can be concluded that efficiency of T. embryophagum species compared with two other species, T. brassicae and T. pintoi on the carob moth eggs was higher. Therefore, it is recommended to use this species in integrated pest management program.
