Rearing the legume pod borer, Maruca testulalis, Geyer (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on artificial diet
Several diets were tested for rearing the legume pod borer, Maruca testulalis (Geyer). After initial selection of a soyflour‐based diet, further research was conducted to determine whether cowpea flour could be substituted for soyflour.
