Breeding and Multiplication of Coccinella septempunctata L. predator by Cross Mating, and Determaination the Most Important Morpho – biological Parameters


Abstract in English

The ladybird predatos (Coccinella septempunctata L.) was bred by the cross mating method, which is followed in all international bio – control centers, to be transformed from the natural local strain into laborators one, which enable continous production and collection of predator groups without affecting the numerical measurements of the most relevant morphological parameters, such as insect's body length, and the biological traits, such as fertility, predators efficacy multiplication, longivity, metamorphesis duration, and sex ratio.
