Abstract:

Potato sprouts detached from soil are most suitable for mass rearing Saissetia oleae (Olivier), S. coffeae (Walker) and their parasitoids, since the duration of development of the coccids is short, and they can be grown easily with their natural enemies in closed containers under controlled conditions. S. oleae served for propagation of Metaphycus affinis stanleyiCompere, M. helvolus (Compere), M. bartlettiAnnecke & Mynhardt, M. lounsburyi (Howard), whilst S. coffeae was better suited for Scutellista cyaneaMotschulsky. The ornamental plant Adhatoda vasicaNees, citron melon and squash fruits served for rearing S. coffeae, while oleander was used for breeding S. oleae and its parasitoids during the ebb of the culture on potato sprouts. © 1977 Le François.
