Abstract: Release of Trichogramma chionis Ishi (Hymenoptera;Trichogrammatidae), were made in one plot in regional sugarcane research station ,Rudrur for biological control of internode shoot borers in sugarcane and compared with control plot .Perusal of data revealed that an average percent intensity of inter node shoot borer damage decreased to 70.70 and 53.87 per cent in 2011 and 2012 respectively and average percent incidence of inter node shoot borer damage decreased to 64.92 and 49.66 per cent in 2011 and 2012 respectively.Population of C. sacchariphagus indicus showed negative correlation with increase in number of parasitized eggs of T. chilonis, which indicates that it can be successfully used for the suppression of sugarcane Inter node shoot borer.
