The Trichogramma Wasp Breeding Center was founded in Hualien Sugar Factory in 1972. With brown rice as their feed, rice moths were bred for Trichogramma Wasps to lay their eggs in. This was used to get rid of borer pests in the sugar cane fields of Taiwan Sugar Corp. and the sugar cane and corn fields of ordinary farmers.
Using live insect enemies of the pests, it achieved the effect of biological pest control and reduced pesticide contamination. Currently, this is the only Trichogramma Wasp breeding center in Taiwan.
Modern people pay attention to an eco-friendly lifestyle and organic vegetables and fruits free of pesticide contamination. Hualien Sugar Factory also provides the guided tour–“Hualien Sugar Fantastic Academy,” introducing visitors to Trichogramma Wasps, which do not produce honey, and lacewings, so that they can understand the concept of biological control which is beneficial to environmental conservation.
