A novel method was devised for the transportation of parasitized egg cards of the scelionid parasitoid, Telenomus remu Nixon. Several consignments of parasitized eggs of T. remus were transported and based on the feedback obtained from the receiving station, it was evident that the eggs within the newly designed transportation containers were not damaged in transit. One container can hold 20,000 parasitized eggs and it costs Rs. 20. From this study, it is also evident that it is ideal to transport 0 to 4 day old un-stored eggs. If stored parasitized eggs (0-2 day old) have to be transported, the pre-transportation storage period should not exceed 4 days. This would prevent adult emergence in transit and also ensure that the receiving station has sufficient time to plan field releases prior to adult emergence.Keywords

Serious and unprecedented infestations by the sugarcane woolly aphid, Ceratovacuna lanigera Zehntner were witnessed on the leaves of 4·9 month old sugarcane crop in Kolhapur and Pune districts of Maharashtra during September-October, 2002. During surveys for natural enemies, seven predators were recorded in Kolhapur, of which Dipha?aphidivora (Meyrick) was observed to be the most promising. In Pune district, only Cheilomenes sexmaculata (Fabricius) was recorded. Limited field releases of the coccinellid, Synonycha grandis (Thunberg) collected from the bamboo woolly aphids at Bangalore and the chrysopid, Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) were made in a small area at Kolhapur. S. grandis adults and C. carnea eggs were recovered 2 to 3 weeks after release, indicating their survival in the field.Keywords
