Optimization of Antimicrobial Concentrations in an Agar-Free, Low-Cost, Wheat Germ-Based Diet for Mass Rearing of Drosophila suzukii

The bottleneck for the mass production of Trichopria drosophilae Perkins (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae), the principal parasitoid of the Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), is the lack of efficient mass-rearing methods. Here, we optimized the concentrations of fiv...
