MONITORIZAREA CICLULUI ONTOGENETIC DE DEZVOLTARE A ENTOMOFAGULUI BRACON HEBETOR SAY. ȘI GAZDEI DE LABORATOR GALLERRIA MELLONELLA L.

Abstract

The aim of the current investigations was to monitor the ontogenetic development cycle of the entomophagous Bracon hebetor on the larvae of the laboratory host Galleria mellonella, multiplied on the standard nutrient medium. The entomophagous Bracon hebetorand the laboratory host Galleria mellonella served as test objects. For the laboratory host, the experiences were set up in 15 repetitions and for the entomophagous – in 5 repetitions. In the given article is to determine the development of an ontogenetic cycle of the entomophagous Bracon hebetor and the laboratory host Galllerria mellonella under controlled condition to optimize multiplication. Thus, is was experimentally demonstrated that under controlled conditions the laboratory host Gallerria mellonella has an ontogenetic development cycle equal to about 45 days, and the entomophagous Bracon hebetor – about 25 days.
