Abstract
When 6 artificial diets were tested for use in rearing larvae of Conotrachelus nenuphar (Herbst), 55% of the larvae matured in a standard corn, soymeal, and milk products (CSM) diet and 90% matured in a pinto bean diet compared with 73 and 85% maturation in 2 checks (diets of thinning apples). Larvae from the CSM and pinto bean diets fed 2–3 days less than larvae in apples, but the yields of adults were quite comparable. The alfalfa leaf meal diet and the diets used for the peachtree borer, Sanninoidea exitiosa (Say), and the carpenterworm, Prionoxystus robiniae (Peck), were unsatisfactory.
