| Popis: | Thirty-two different mineral salts were added individually to a diet of whole wheat flour to investigate their effects on population numbers, times of development and longevity of the Mediterranean flour moth, Anagasta kuehniella (Zeller). The effect upon the time of development varied from inhibitory to no effect to very stimulatory. All tested salts inhibited the egg-laying in P and F1 generations but egg laying completely stopped only with all the concentrations of sodium nitrate, NaNO3 in the diet of the P generation. No single anion or cation was found which would strongly affect this stored-product insect. The effect of each salt at each concentration was found to be different. |
