METHOD FOR GROWING LABORATORY POPULATIONS OF SPECIES OF THE TRICHOGRAMMA (HYMENOPTERA, TRICHOGRAMMATIDAE) GENUS

摘要

A method for growing laboratory populations of species of the Trichogramma (Hymenoptera, Trichogrammatidae) genus includes growing the Trichogramma in eggs of feeding insects. The eggs of the oaken silkworm of the domestic breed Poliskyi tassar (Antheraea pernyi G.-.), caterpillars of which were grown on leaves of common oak, are used as a host insect of the Trichogramma. The eggs of the silkworm, the mass of pupae females of which is 8 and more grams were used for infecting.
