Abstract

The influence of food on eggs' hatching of Plodia interpunctella
(Hbn.) was valued; 24 substrates were tested. 100 eggs were placed on a first
layer of product about 2-3mm thick and afterwards they were covered with a
second layer of equal thickness. 4 replications were carried out for every product.
In absence of food, the eggs show the highest average values for hatching
(95±0.4). The lowest average values of hatching were observed on finely ground
pine seeds (6±0.7) and on finely ground almonds (11.8±1.4), while those higher
than 90 are observed for castor sugar, powdered cinnamon, dried yeast and powdered
garlic.
