Abstract

Hylotrupes bajulus (L.) was successfully reared from egg to adult in 9 to 11 months on an artificial diet. The diet provided an adequate physical and nutritional environment for the development of old house borer larvae. Mortality and rearing time were reduced when larvae reared on artificial diet were compared with those reared by conventional methods.

Résumé

Hylotrupes bajulus (L.) a été élevé avec succès de l'oeuf à l'adulte en 9 à 11 mois sur diète artificielle. La diète s'est avérée un milieu physique et nutritionnel convenant au développement des larves. La mortalité et le temps de développement de larves élevées sur diète artificielle étaient moindres que pour celles élevées selon les méthodes habituelles.
