Abstract
SUMMARY H. Maleki-Milani: Mamestra brassicae rearing on artificial diet. The development of the cabbage moth was studied on an artificial diet composed of agar cabbage powder, wheat germs, various vitamins and mineral salts, in comparison with the rearing on cabbage leaves and plantain leaves. In both cases the duration of development was similar, but the weight of the pupae and the fecundity of the adults were higher on artificial diet. There is no relation between the female pupae weight and the number of eggs laid. Rearing beyond the 4th generation failed because of sterility. Investigations on the part played by the different components of the artificial diet showed the importance of: ascorbic acid, yeast, wheat germs and mineral salts. The importance of ascorbic acid and the role played by the frequency of the diet replacement were studied in details.
