2.1 Insect
The yellow peach moth used in this study was reared under laboratory conditions. The larvae were reared using artificial diet maintained at 27 ± 1 °C with a photoperiod of 16 h light: 8 h dark, and 65 ± 5% relative humidity (RH). The pupae were segregated, male and female were kept in separate cages. After emergence, moths were fed on 10% honey water (Braccini et al., 2015).
