A method for steady production of Chilo partellus has been established. An efficient simple and easy method of collection of first instar larvae from incubation chambers has been developed. It has been established that pupae of Chilo partellus can be held at a chilling temperature between 5 and 15°C without any adverse effect on the emergence of adults. This finding has been used in synchronizing the emergence of males and females for mating or longer storage of the pupae.
Studies on the effect of high and low humidities on egg development have shown that low humidities affect the hatchability of Chilo partellus egg but did not effect the actual development of the embryo adversely. It has also been shown that Chilo partellus oviposits best under high humidity.
