The insect was reared individually and communally in glass vials, the latter to develop a mass-rearing technique. Developmental time from neonate to pupa was significantly slower when larvae were individually reared (38.18 ±1.2 days) compared to when they were communally reared (24.6 ± 0.65 days). A microsporidian infection (Nosema sp.) was recorded in the culture, causing significantly (fy6 = 14.99, P = 0.0082) higher mortality of communally reared larvae (76.25 % ± 11.87) than individually reared larvae (24.9 % ± 9.6).]]> Tue 13 Aug 2024 15:55:03 SAST ]]> Subterranean control of an arboreal pest: EPNs and EPFs for FCM http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72241 Tue 13 Aug 2024 15:41:10 SAST ]]> Development of a Postharvest Cold Treatment for Cryptophlebia peltastica (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) for Export of Litchis From South Africa http://vital.seals.ac.za:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72089 Fri 26 Apr 2024 09:57:37 SAST ]]>
