Effect of food on breeding success of bean beetle \kur{Callosobruchus maculatus}.
KOTRLOVÁ, Jana
The aim of this thesis was to find out if a type of beans and temperature do or do not affect the number of hatched Callosobruchus maculatus. Furthermore, to determine the number of adults who are able to hatch from a single piece of beans and at what temperature. Also to specify which type of beans is best suited to the conditions of temperature 20°C and 30°C. Callosobruchus maculatus has been selected for this experiment because of his simplicity breeding even in room temperature. Evolution lasts from three to six weeks. A three types of beans were chosen for creating hatcheries (Black eyed beans, Mungo, Adzuki). The evaluated data confirmed that the higher the temperature in the hatchery positively affects hatched individuals in all types of beans. Type of beans black eyed beans at 30°C has the highest average production per piece of beans. On the other hand, the lowest production has been measured in the Adzuki type at 20°C. The result of this study could be helpful for breeders of feeding insect, who are accustomed to breed Callosobruchus maculatus in a mixture of the above mentioned types of beans. A literature overview of feeding insects is a complex set of the most common breeding specie, which could be an essential source of information about the breed and hatcheries of feeding insects.
