Abstract
Brewers’ yeast and yeast hydrolysate proved to be the best sources of protein for egg production in the onion maggot, Hylemya antiqua (Mleigen). Aggregations of flies were formed on various proteins and amino acids and seemed to be caused by both an attractant and a feeding stimulant.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
