Abstract: Four main areas of investigation were conducted at the University of the South Pacific, School of Agriculture and Food Technology, in Samoa. These were (1) Laboratory experiments to determine the life cycle and egg morphology of the Samoan population of Crocidolomia pavonana F., (2) Field and laboratory trials to evaluate the oviposition behaviour and egg distribution of large cabbage moth (LCM) in Chinese cabbage, (3) Laboratory trials to assess the biological attributes of Trichogramma chilonis developed from LCM eggs, and (4) Field trials to investigate T. chilonis egg parasitism and how it exploits the distribution of large cabbage moth (LCM) egg mass on the plant canopy.
