Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Abstract
An inexpensive, artificial diet made with carrot powder, a commercially available product of Saccharomyces fragilis, ascorbic acid, mold inhibitors, and agar gave as good or better yields of G. molesta (Busck) moths as was reared from apples. One moth per 1.25 ml of medium at a cost of.08c per moth was the best obtained.
