Summary

In that 3rd part, the author gives indications concerning the mass breeding ofTrichogramma australicum and its replacement hostCorcyra cephalonica Staint. Said host was chosen because of the volume of its eggs and its resistance toTribolium; its larvae are fed on a mixture of Indian corn semolina and arachis.

Description is given of a model breeding cell, capable of producing 250 000 000 eggs in 6 months.

Breeding of the Trichogramme is conducted so as to enable the selection of offsprings from females that come out first (as these did not suffer from superparasitism, their size, activity and fecundity are optima). To obtain successful results in that type of breeding it is essential to have the right proportion of parasites and hosts.

Having explained the method for keeping the parasited eggs prior to shipping them to the sugar-plantations, the author then gives a few quotations on the possible output of a breeding unit.
