Abstract
The banana moth Opogona sacchari (Bojer) (Lepidoptera: Tineidae) is a
polyphagous pest that can cause serious damage, in particular to banana
crops in southern Brazil. The insect is a quarantine pest in several countries, including Argentina, the main consumer market for bananas from
southern Brazil. Little information is available about the biology and ecology of this moth, such as a suitable diet for laboratory rearing. In order to
provide support for integrated pest management of the pest, this study
furnished data for selecting two diets suitable for continuous laboratory
rearing of O. sacchari, one based on dried beans, wheat germ, soy bran,
brewer’s yeast, and casein and another diet with wheat germ and casein
as protein sources. With both diets, the viability of the egg-adult period
exceeded 68%, with fertility over 338 eggs per female. A corrected biotic
potential analysis gave similar values for the two diets.
