Abstract
method has been standardized to estimate small quantities of
food intake by larvae fed on flours using diets mixed with calcium phosphate
labelled with *%alcium. Employing this method, the early instar larvae of
Corcyra cephalonica and Tribolium castaneum were found to consume more diet
per unit weight than the older ones.
Pyrethrum and zirum mixed with the diets at 1 to 3 per cent levels inhibited
the diet intake of C. cephalonica larvae.
