Abstract
Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) progeny production and rate of development on cracked corn (substandard diet) increased after dead eggs or adults of Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) were added to the diet. This finding suggests that dietary supplementation with P. interpunctella eggs or adults could lead to a population buildup of T. castaneum and a population reduction of P. interpunctella when the two species occur together in nature on a diet that is substandard for T. castaneum.
