Abstract
Improved techniques for rearing the oriental fruit moth, Grapholitha molesta, and its parasites from infested peach terminals are described. Samples of terminals wrapped in paper toweling and kept moistened in cardboard containers for 5-6 days were transferred to glass containers at end of 8-10 days. Comparatively larger numbers of insects emerged than when the entire rearing process was conducted in glass alone.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
