Abstract

Large numbers of each of the stages of the cabbage maggot, Hylemya brassicae (Bouché), are often required for studies on biology or on biological or chemical control of the insect. A method has been reported by Sherwood and Pond (1954) for maintaining a colony for more than a year. The method described herein enables mass rearing of eggs, larvae and pupae and easy separation of any stage.
