Abstract:New diets for rearing the olive fruit fly, Dacus oleae (Gmel.) under high larval densities were formulated and their effect upon larval survival, larval growth, pupal yield and adult emergence was studied. Diets PS33, PS67 and PS100 were obtained from a basal control diet PS by increasing its food ingredients by 33, 67 and 100%, respectively, per ml of dietary water. These diets were tested under three egg densities with satisfactory hatchability. It was found that the proportional increase of food ingredients… Show more
