Maintenance of soldier-producing aphids on an artificial diet

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2002
In our efforts to understand the biology of soldier-producing aphids, we attempted to maintain them in the laboratory using a chemically defined artificial diet. The ability of 16 species from the subfamilies Eriosomatinae and Hormaphidinae, most of which are soldier-producing species, to survive on the artificial diet was examined.

Artificial Diets for Spiders

2012
Spiders are important constituents of the natural enemy complex of pests in agricultural fields. However, despite its known importance in agriculture, its contribution to pest control is still largely unnoticed. Spiders are good candidates for augmentation by mass rearing and field release since they primarily feed on arthropod pests.

PHYSICAL ASPECTS OF ARTIFICIAL DIETS

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1969
The physical properties of artificial diets, texture, hardness, homogeneity, and water content are regulated by the addition of cellulose, agar, polysaccharide gums, and other large molecules. These physical aspects are important in promoting good growth and development of insects.The development of the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis Boheman, was ...

Artificial diets for sea hares

Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1979
An artificial diet, made up principally of chemicals set in agar, has given good growth in the sea hare Aplysia dactylomela Rang (13 and 29% increases in live weight in two trials of 24- and 16-day periods, respectively, at 28.5 °C). Spawn production accounted for 65 and 29%, respectively, of these increases in weight.

An Artificial Diet for the Laboratory Rearing of Locusts

Nature, 1958
LOCUSTS are being increasingly used for research and teaching purposes, but one of the main difficulties involved in maintaining a culture is the provision of an adequate supply of fresh green grass throughout the year1. A further disadvantage of this grass diet was revealed by biochemical investigations into the variation with age of the concentration

Artificial Diet for the Adult Froghopper

Nature, 1967
THE adult froghopper, Aeneolamia varia saccharina (Distant), has been reared in the insectary on pieces of sugar cane leaf1, but the use of an artificial diet for the culture of this insect has not been reported. During investigations of the site of feeding and nutrition of A.

An Artificial Diet for Laboratory Rearing of Honeybees

Journal of Apicultural Research, 1986
SummaryAn artificial diet which simulates royal jelly and can be used for the rearing of honeybee larvae (Apis mellifera) is described. The diet is chemically defined except for protein from royal jelly; it also contains 10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) from royal jelly. More than 60 perfect adults were reared on the diet.
