Abstract

The composition and preparation of an artificial diet for the coffee berry borer, Hypothenemus hampei is described. Ten generations were obtained without any significant change in fecundity. Development at 25°C on this diet was similar to previously reported work using coffee berries. One female reared on this diet lived for 380 days. This diet will permit investigations into the genetics of insecticide resistance, potential biopesticides and other research, requiring a convenient laboratory rearing system.

Résumé

Le mode de préparation et la composition d'un milieu d'élevage artificiel pour le scolyte du café Hypothenemus hampei est décrit. Jusqu'à present, dix générations ont été obtenues sans changement significatif de la fécondité. Le cycle de développement à 25°C est similaire à celui reporté par ailleurs dans la littérature, sur des élevages sur cerises de café. Une durée de vie maximale de 380 jours a été observée sur une femelle élevée sur ce milieu. Ce milieu artificiel permet de conduire des recherches dans le domaine de la génétique de la résistance aux insecticides, dans la prospection de biopesticides potentiels, ou dans tout autre domaine nécessistant un élevage permanent au laboratoire.
