dcterms.descriptionA 3-year project to introduce parasites to biologically eradicate the coffee berry borer (Hypothenemus hampei Ferrari) in Jamaica is making headway. As an environmentally sound alternative to the insecticide endosulfan, in 1999 the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) introduced and mass reared the parasitoid Cephalonomia stephanoderis Betrem, that parasitises the immature stage of the borer. Now this has become established successfully, CARDI has introduced a new parasitoid to fight the adult berry borers and is currently establishing protocols for mass rearing this wasp.
