Conteúdo: | Nutritional efficiency of four dehydrated and powdered tapioca puddings for Triboliun confusum (du Val) was assayed by studying growth, survival and fecundity of the confused flour beetle on these diets. The common pudding inflicted about 50% mortality and caused over three-fold growth retardation in the larvae. The longevity and fecundity of the adults also were significantly reduced (P<0.001). On the other three test puddings which contained less vitamins and more fat or carbohydrate than the common puddings growth was even more severely retarded, and only 9% of the larvae became adults of doubful reproductive ability.
