“…Beck et al (1949) reported the first successful aseptic rearing of phytophagous moth, the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), on a meridic diet. Ishii and Urushibara (1954) were able to rear the rice stem borer, Chilo suppersalis Walker (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) on a modification of the diet reported by Beck et al (1949). Vanderzant and Reiser (1956) were the first to formulate a meridic diet for the pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella Saunders (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), without a plant adjuvant.…”

With the aim to improve the mass rearing feasibility of tobacco budworm, Helicoverpa armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), design of experimental methodology using Taguchi orthogonal array was applied. To do so, the effect of 16 ingredients of an artificial diet including bean, wheat germ powder, Nipagin, ascorbic acid, formaldehyde, oil, agar, distilled water, ascorbate, yeast, chloramphenicol, benomyl, penicillin, temperature, humidity, and container size on some biological characteristics of H. armigera was evaluated. The selected 16 factors were considered at two levels (32 experiments) in the experimental design. Among the selected factors, penicillin, container size, formaldehyde, chloramphenicol, wheat germ powder, and agar showed significant effect on the mass rearing performance. Derringer's desirability function was used for simultaneous optimization of mass rearing of tobacco budworm, H. armigera, on a modified artificial diet. Derived optimum operating conditions obtained by Derringer's desirability function and Taguchi methodology decreased larval period from 19 to 15.5 days (18.42 % improvement), decreased the pupal period from 12.29 to 11 days (10.49 % improvement), increased the longevity of adults from 14.51 to 21 days (44.72 % improvement), increased the number of eggs/female from 211.21 to 260, and increased egg hatchability from 54.2% to 72% (32.84 % improvement). The proposed method facilitated a systematic mathematical approach with a few well-defined experimental sets.

“…The larvae can not grow and die if the synthetic food does not contain tea leaf and/or aqueous extract of tea leaf (TAMAKI, 1961 , 1949;ISHII & URUSHIBARA, 1954). These Pyralid larvae are, however, able to grow and increase their body we ght by feeding synthetic food medium free from such factors.…”

“…The development of a satisfactory purified diet and aseptic culturing technique for European corn borer larvae (9,10) has made it possible to study the borer's nutritional and feeding requirements (2,3). An experimental approach to the problem of the adaptation of the borer larva to the corn plant has also been made (1,4,5,6,11).…”
