TECHNOLOGY FOR IN VITRO REARING OF PARASITICS

The technology of in vitro propagation of parasitic entomophages is a very important process. This direction is very important for the agricultural economy. An average of 1.8-2.2 million dollars is spent on the propagation of parasitic entomophages in our country per year. If we introduce the technology of in vitro propagation of parasitic entomophages, this will reduce costs by 2-3 times. Propagating parasitic organisms in this way will save significant economic costs. The studies on in vitro rearing Hymenoptera have been conducted successfully in Uzbekistan. For these parasites, cooking and the three main types of media were made from the hemolymph of the wax moth (G.melonnella) and cotton worm Helicoverpa armigera (Heliothis armigera), egg yolk, natural milk 10%. Mass production of in vitro reared Braconidae and Trichogrammatidae its utilization in the fields showed good effectiveness in controlling agricultural economy.
