Rearing the Maize Weevil, Sitophilus zeamais, on an Artificial Maize—Cassava Diet
Dry artificial diet pellets prepared with maize, cassava chips, and amino acid supplements (lysine and methionine) were evaluated for mass culture of Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), a highly polyphagous pest of many stored grains. Evaluation was done in the laboratory at temperature 26 ± 2 °C, 60-70% RH, 12:12 L:D photoperiod. The artificial diet was compounded from ...
متن کاملRearing the house fly predator Carcinops pumilio (Erichson) (Coleoptera: Histeridae) on an artificial diet
A number of concentrations of PRO-PLEXTM, a protein rich food additive, were incorporated into an artificial diet to determine its effect on the predatory beetle, Carcinops pumilio (Erichson). The impact of this host-free artificial diet on developmental time, larval weight, oviposition and mortality was assessed. When C. pumilio is fed on a host-free diet, the total development of egg to adult...
متن کاملRearing the Cotton Bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera, on a Tapioca-Based Artificial Diet
The impact of a tapioca-based artificial diet on the developmental rate, life history parameters, and fertility was examined over five consecutive generations for the cotton bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera Hubner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), a highly polyphagous pest of many agricultural crops. The study showed that when fed the tapioca-based artificial diet during larval stage, larval and pupal de...
متن کاملEstablishment of an artificial diet for successive rearing of Apolygus lucorum (Hemiptera: Miridae).
The plant bug Apolygus lucorum (Meyer-Dür) is a major pest on Bt cotton and multiple crops in northern China. A modified NI artificial diet called T7 was developed to rear this pest for 10 successive generations both individually and in groups. This T7 diet was similar in components and preparation process to the NI diet used for Lygus hesperus in North America, but was comprised of more whole ...
متن کاملArtificial rearing of pigs
I . Baby pigs were removed from the sow 36-48 h after birth and reared on a diet of reconstituted whole-milk powder until 28 d of age. The whole milk was either mildly or severely heated before spray-drying ; the severe heating completely denatured the whey proteins. 2. When the two milks were given at a high level of intake, either at hourly intervals or twice daily, severe scouring and some d...
