Abstract
Improving the method of black pupae storage at low temperatures was ne cessary in order to improve their commercialization and different comb inations of temperature-length of storage were tested. To obtain good hatching results, Encarsia black pupae cold storage can be extended to 20 days at 9 degrees C, the best results being given with 15 days at 9 degrees C. The rate of hatching decreases with decreasing temperatur es and increasing lengths of storage.
