Abstract: Improving the method of black pupae storage at low temperatures was necessary in order to improve their commercialization and different combinations 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°C, the best results being given with 15 days at 9°C. The rate of hatching decreases with decreasing temperatures and increasing lengths of storage.
