Item Generation Effect of Goniozus ncphantidis Muesbeck Reared on Rice Moth and Coconut Black Headed Caterpillar(2012) Sawant, V.R.; Desai, V.S.; Narangalkar, A.L.The experiment was carried out at Department of Agricultural Entomology, College of Agriculture, Dapoli (M.S,) during 2007·08 to determine the generation effect of a larval parasitoid, Goniozus nephantidis Muesbeck. To determine the generation effect, larval parasitoid was reared up to seven generations on different larval host combinations, This experiment was carried out to determine effect of continuous laboratory rearing of G. nephantidis on factitious host, C. cephalonica. It was found that there was no major difference in fecundity, total number of larvae parasitized and life cycle of G. nephantidis when reared from one to six generations on C. cephalonica and then on O. arenosella. The little difference was observed after seventh generation on fecundity and potentiality, This indicated that the G. nephantidis could be mass produced on factitious host, C. cephalonica successfully up to six generations.
