Trichograma japonicum is a minute wasp or parasitoid which lays around 100,000 to 120,000 eggs during its life cycle.[citation needed]

It is the best biological method of control for rice stem borer, which is the most common pest found in paddies.[1]

Trichograma japonicum interferes with the eggs laid by rice stem borer and damage by this pest is reduced to a large extent.[2]
