Abstract

Rice moth Corcyra cephalonica, is a potential host or prey insect for rearing the parasitoid Trichogramma. Trichogramma is an efficient parasitoid in controlling the monophagus pest of rice, rice stem borer.The artificial rearing media containing groundnut and milkpowder in 1:1 ratio is found to be suitable rearing media for the mass multiplication of C. cephalonica. The larval length, fecundity of C. cephalonica was highest in the rearing medium of groundnut and milkpowder in 1:1 than the solo groundnut .
