COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT DIETS ON BIOLOGY OF CORCYRA CEPHALONICA (STAINTON) UNDER LABORATORY CONDITION


AUTHOR(S)

ABSTRACT

The study aimed to evaluate different rearing media for mass production of rice moth Corcyra
cephalonica Stainton (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), an important host insect for several bio-control
agents. The development and reproductive performance of C. cephalonica was evaluated on six
different combinations of rearing media containing maize, wheat, rice, jowar, ragi, sugar and
groundnut. Results showed that the larval period, pupal period, adult emergence fecundity, adult
longevity and fecundity were highest and true generation time was shortest in Diet VI (Wheat, yeast,
groundnut). Hence, Diet VI is the most suitable rearing media for mass production of C.
cephalonica.
Keywords: Corcyra cephalonica, artificial diets, mass rearing, Trichogramma.
