Abstract Trichogramma brassicae is one of the most important egg parasitoids many pests including South American tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae). In agrosystems, function can be affected by application insecticides. To use biological control agents and pesticides simultaneously in pest management, it necessary to know potential effect on agents. this study, lethal sublethal effects four insecticides (flubendiamide, emamectin benzoate + lufenuron, thiocyclam, spinosad) frequently used T. , were investigated its parasitoid Brassicae Bezdenko (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae), under controlled laboratory conditions. The results showed that spinosad with an LC 50 value 0.73 mg a.i./ L was highly toxic against adults comparison flubendiamide (4.09 L), lufenuron (4.17 thiocyclam (9.59 L). Furthermore, key demographic parameters such as net reproductive rate ( R 0 ), intrinsic increase r m mean generation time T doubling (DT) significantly decreased after exposure 30 s spinosad, flubendiamide, compared control. light our results, should cautiously integrated management programs. While combined brassicae, are not recommended presence parasitoid. avoided concomitantly release .
