Wheat germ oil and its effects on a liquid larval rearing diet for oriental fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae).
Wheat germ oil was added to a larval liquid diet for rearing Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) to optimize fruit fly quality. Effects of various concentrations of wheat germ oil at 0.04, 0.07, 0.15, 0.30, and 0.66% and their possible mode of action were evaluated. Results suggest that addition of wheat germ oil does not affect pupal weight, larval developmental period, adult e...
متن کاملArtificial Diet for Rearing Trichogramma Wasps (hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) with Emphasis on Protein Utilization
Trichogramma wasps are tiny hymenopterous egg parasitoids widely used in biological control programs worldwide. The huge quantities of insects necessary for inundative releases are mainly produced on factitious hosts like Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), or on silkworms. In order to simplify production, increase its flexibility, and potentially reduce cost, studies on arti...
متن کاملAn Optimized Protocol for Rearing Fopius arisanus, a Parasitoid of Tephritid Fruit Flies
Fopius arisanus (Sonan) is an important parasitoid of Tephritid fruit flies for at least two reasons. First, it is the one of only three opiine parasitoids known to infect the host during the egg stage(1). Second, it has a wide range of potential fruit fly hosts. Perhaps due to its life history, F. arisanus has been a successfully used for biological control of fruit flies in multiple tropical ...
متن کاملMass Rearing and Quality Control Parameters for Tephritid Fruit Flies of Economic Importance in Africa
Tephritid fruit flies are recognized worldwide as the most important threat to horticulture (Allwood and Drew, 1997; Barnes, 2004; Ekesi and Billah, 2007). Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is the aboriginal home to 915 fruit fly species from 148 genera, out of which 299 species develop in either wild or cultivated fruit. They belong mainly to four genera: Bactrocera, Ceratitis, Dacus, and Trirhithrum (...
متن کاملFruit flies step out
A method that can analyse the movements of Drosophila as they walk is a valuable addition to the tools available to neurobiologists, and has already led to insights into the interplay of central networks and sensory feedback in this model organism.
