Résumé

Le conditionnement des œufs d'Ephestia kuehniella Zell. par le froid et les radiations ultraviolettes a été recherché en vue de la multiplication des Trichogrammes. Il est montré que les œufs n'ayant pas atteint le stade de la gastrulation sont les plus sensibles au rayonnement et qu'ils doivent être choisis pour ce traitement. Aucune altération du potentiel biotique deTrichogramma evanescens Westw. et deT. brasiliensis Ashm. n'a pu être décelée après leur élevage durant 6 générations successives sur des œufs irradiés durant 4 heures et conservés 4 jours à 4°C. Le taux de multiplication deT. brasiliensis serait même amélioré par ce conditionnement. Une différence hautement significative de ce taux et d'étalement de la ponte est relevée entre ces deux espèces. La durée de conservation la plus longue des œufs irradiés est de 60 jours au froid. Au-delà il y a déficience d'un certain facteur indispensable au développement de l'embryon du Trichogramme.

Summary

The conditioning of eggs ofEphestia kuehniella Zell. by cold storage and by ultraviolet radiation was studied in relation to aTrichogramma rearing program. It was shown that eggs which had not reached the gastrulation stage were the most sensitive to ultraviolet radiations and, therefore, should be chosen for such treatment. No changes in the biotic potential of eitherT. evanescens Westw. orT. brasiliensis Ash. could be detected after these insects were reared through 6 successive generations on eggs irradiated for 4 hours and held at 4°C for 4 days. The fertility ofT. brasiliensis was even increased by this treatment. A highly significant difference in the fertility and the duration of oviposition was noted between the two species. The longest period of time the eggs could be held in cold storage was 60 days. Beyond this period, there was a loss of a certain factor indispensable for the development of theTrichogramma embryo.
