Dietas artificiales y capacidad de postura de Chrysopa lanata lanata (Banks) en condiciones de laboratorio

Abstract

?Artificial diets and posture capacity of Chrysopa lanata lanata (Banks) under laboratory conditions?

Research have been done to satisfy the following objectives: 1) To obtain an artificial diet for increasing fecundity and fertility of Ch. lanata lanata under laboratory conditions without affecting natural mortality of the species. 2) To employ that new diet for the ecological management of the predator populations in the field. The first proposed objective was completely satisfied by the selected diet. The possibilities to employ that new diet under field conditions are still in course, but the good insect production obtained and the low cost of the diet are the best arguments in that sense.
