Abstract
A new heat barrier was developed to prevent the escape of host larvae (Gnorimo-schema operculella) from open trays used in the mass production of Macrocentrus ancylivorus. It is a single strand of high resistance wire in the angle formed by the floor and sides of a tray, and connected to the electric light circuit. The temp. is held below that causing the charring of wood.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
