EFFECTS OF VARIATIONS IN CASEIN AND DEXTRIN CONTENT OF A SYNTHETIC DIET ON LARVAE OF CTENICERA AERIPENNIS DESTRUCTOR (BROWN) (COLEOPTERA: ELATERIDAE)1

Abstract: Larvae reared aseptically on pellets of synthetic diet in which the ratio of casein to dextrin was varied over the full range, gained most weight in a two‐month period when the ratio was either 20: 80 or 70: 30. When the ratio was varied by smaller amounts in the region of these concentrations, the larvae gained most weight in a narrow range of 21 to 23 parts casein and also in a broad range of 65 to 71 parts casein. This bimodal response may occur because deleterious effects of large quantities of casein or d… Show more
