Probable steps for establishment of tachinids

Probable steps for establishment of tachinids:
Generally, it is observed that the knowledge remains with expertise it is not utilized by farmers, seminars/ conferences/ workshops are conducted only for research workers (not involvement of farmers), research papers are published, field trials are taken but information is not circulated to farmers. The indigenous tachinid parasitoids to control H.armigera could be utilized by following steps.
Awareness programme (for farmers on use of natural enemies and disuse of chemical pesticides in field)
→ Allow to increase host and parasitoid complex in fields
→ Field collection of indigenous species from host
→ Rearing of parasitoid on host and culture medium in laboratory
→ Developing rearing protocols
→ Hold for screening
→Access potential of natural enemies in the laboratory against host
 → Field release
 → Field recovery
→ Evaluate
→ Storage of parasitoids at low temperature for further use
→ Make available the protocol and parasitoids to formers for release
→ Field trials by farmers under supervision of expertise

Probable principal steps in use of natural enemies of pest species.
