| dc.description.abstract |
The aim of this contract was to finalise in vitro rearing on artificial diets of entomophagous
insects useful to control insect pests mainly in greenhouses through an analytical and rational
approach. The work focuses on the development and optimisation of artificial diets for one
coccinellid (Harmonia axyridis), two heteropteran predators (Orius laevigatus, Dicyphus
tamaninii), and a braconid parasitoid of aphids (Aphidius ervi). The definition of the artificial
diets was based on biochemical analyses of their natural food (aphids) or substitution food for the
predators (Ephestia kuehniella eggs). Reliable quality control parameters of the entomophages
produced were used in order to adjust dietary composition and formulation of the different diets
tested. |
