Rearing Orius sauteri (POPPIUS) on Diet of Freeze-dried Larval Powder of Melon Fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae COQUILLETT

The suitability of freeze-dried, powdered larvae of the melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (FPM) as a diet of Orius sauteri was compared to a diet of live 2nd instar larvae of Thrips palmi. O. sauteri was successfully reared on FPM but the developmental time, survival rate, longevity, preoviposition p...

Zusammenfassung:	The suitability of freeze-dried, powdered larvae of the melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (FPM) as a diet of Orius sauteri was compared to a diet of live 2nd instar larvae of Thrips palmi. O. sauteri was successfully reared on FPM but the developmental time, survival rate, longevity, preoviposition period and fecundity were negatively affected in comparison to a diet of live T. palmi larvae. The results show that FPM can be used as a diet for rearing O. sauteri but it is not as suitable as live T. palmi larvae.
