Abstract

The Insect Rearing Management (IRM) system was used to rear the black lyre leafroller, Cnephasia jactatana (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). The results obtained include life cycle development at various temperatures, application of “day-degrees” in manipulating the life cycle, and use of low temperature for storage of life stages. IRM is a valuable system for regulating production of different life stages as it produces insects of specified quality as required. IRM can be adapted for rearing facilities which handle multiple-species rearing.

Résumé

Le systeme de gestion d'elevage d'insectes a ete utilise pour I'elevage de I'enrouleuse de la lyre, noire Cnephasia jactatana (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae). Les resultats obtenus concernet le cycle de developpement a differentes temperatures, l'utilisation de degres-jours pour modifier le cycle de developpement, et l'emploi de basses temperatures pour le stockage d'insectes. Le systeme de gestion d'elevage d'insectes est un systeme de gestion approprie pour reguler la production de differents stades larvaires et pour obtenir des insectes d'une qualite specifique. II peut etre egalement adopte pour I'elevage des especes multiples.
