Rearing non-diapausing western spruce budworm on pre-mixed artificial diet

The western spruce budworm, C. occidentalis Freeman, was reared on pre-mixed artificial diet in the laboratory without diapause. The colony was maintained indefinitely with a generation time of 38-40 days. Females deposited an average of 307 eggs of which about 91% survived. The rearing technique pr...
