Host-testing insects on non-target plants.

 

When a non-target plant is accepted for oviposition and the plant supports larval development, it is necessary to determine whether the plant can support populations of the insect indefinitely. For these tests, the insects are bred on the plant in the same way that they are bred on their normal host.
