ABSTRACT A pasteform consisted of 150 g wheat bran, 50 g milk powder, 3 g brewer's yeast and 300 ml. water was used as standard rearing medium for the larvea of Musca domesfica. L. The medium was treated with an aqueous neem, Azedirachta indica A. Juss. seed kernel extract (ANSKE); 50 g seed kernel/litre of medium. Third in- star larvae of M. domestica were fed on the treated medium until pupation. Such treatment delayed larval pupation, reduced pupal weight, inhibited adult emergence and caused various malformations for emerged adults. |
