In vitro mass reproduction of parasitic entomophages (<i>Braconidae, Trichogrammatidae</i>)

The issue of propagating parasitic insects in artificial food environments has been a challenge for researchers long time. Breeding one Trichogramma insect requires lot grain products and labor, it takes about 40-50 days 55-60 Bracon to reproduce. This study aimed develop technology the vitro reproduction trichogram, which are important entomophages control various agricultural pests. results experiments showed that chilonis damage nests with offspring was 82.4%, larvae emerged from eggs 1.7 days. developed this nutrient medium 5.0 days, pupation period 4.5 average time egg imago 11.2 survival hatchlings feeding lasted 5.4 male:female ratio (♂:♀) hatched Trichograms 1:6.
