Data for Analysis of the Bioeconomy cost of Sitotroga cereallela: Trichogramma pretiosum and Chrysoperla externa
Description
This dataset provides a detailed cost analysis of three biological controllers used in pest management: Sitotroga cerealella, Trichogramma, and Chrysoperla. The data includes cost breakdowns for raw materials, labor, and other expenses involved in the production and reproduction processes of these biological agents. The cost analysis is crucial for optimizing production efficiency and establishing competitive pricing for these products.

Summary of the steps followed for each biological controller, with a focus on Sitotroga cerealella, Trichogramma, and Chrysoperla: Process and Cost Analysis Summary 1. Designing Production Stages: Sitotroga cerealella: The production process was divided into five main stages: sterilization of wheat substrate, sterilization of Sitotroga eggs, planting/infestation of larvae, emergence of adults, and extraction of adults. Trichogramma: The production process was segmented into two primary stages: breeder maintenance and Trichogramma production. Chrysoperla: The production process was organized into two stages: larvae breeding and adult breeding. 2. Quoting Materials: For each stage, the costs of raw materials and operational resources were identified and quoted. This involved calculating the prices of all materials required, including substrates, containers, energy, and other consumables essential for each phase of production. 3. Cost Calculation: Sitotroga cerealella: Costs were calculated for each of the five stages, considering the expenses for sterilization, infestation, and emergence, along with the extraction process. Trichogramma: Costs were assessed for both the breeder maintenance and the Trichogramma production stages, focusing on the resources and labor required for each stage. Chrysoperla: Costs were analyzed for larvae and adult breeding stages, taking into account the raw materials and labor involved in each phase.
