Abstract:

Artificial diets adequate for the development of Callosobruchus chinensis were elaborated by substituting particular consituents-in lieu of chickpea flour-in artificial beans. In order to support optimal development, the carbohydrate/protein ratio must be high, some mono- or disaccharides should be present, and the starch should be relatively low in amylose. An essential factor, present in the methanol-soluble fraction of chickpeas, is required at low levels for optimal development. The nutritional requirements of C. chinensis are similar to the composition of the legume seeds which serve as hosts for these beetles. © 1971.
