A process of preparation of rearing diet for galleria Mellonella larvae, used for isolation and mass production of Beneficial organisms

Abstract

This invention relates to a process and preparation of rearing diet which provide an easy and cheaper diet for rearing of healthy wax moth larvae and long term storage (12-18 months) in dry oat at 12-15°C in plastic boxes. Galleria mellonella larvae used as a bait for isolation and mass production of entomopathogenic nematodes, which are used as bio-control agent of more than 300 pests of different crops.
