AbstractA holidic diet which allowed the onion maggot, Delia antiqua (Meigen), to undergo complete development to the adult reproductive stage was developed. The effects of various concentrations of choline and salts on development were investigated. The amount of choline which gave optimal development was approximately 1/50 that used in most other artificial diets. It was found that the complex salt mixture (Wesson salts) normally used could be replaced by a solution of salts containing specific trace element ions (Fe, Mn, Cu, and Zn) and the two salts CaHPO4·H2O and KH2PO4.

SUMMARYLaboratory experiments and field tests were used to study the effects of seven anti-microbial agents and a trace element salt mixture (TEM) on the decay of cut pieces of seed potatoes. The effect of a mixture of gibberellic acid and ethrel (GA + E), TEM, and TEM with GA + E on the sprouting behaviour and yield of tubers was also studied. All the anti-microbial agents inhibited decay, although TEM and oxine were superior to other treatments. There was an increase in crop yield when seed tubers were treated with TEM. In laboratory tests, the GA + E mixture and TEM were effective in breaking dormancy.
