Abstract
Before 1926, Leach (7) was able to rear
larvae of the seedcorn maggot (SCM), now known as
Hylemya platura (Meigen), on potatoes or beef extract agar
inoculated with the causal organism of potato blackleg,
Erwinia atroseptica (van Hall) Jennison. Since then,
attempts to maintain colonies in the laboratory have met
with limited success because of low egg production until
McLeod found that protein was essential for oviposition (8).
Harris et al. (5), using the information of McLeod, was able
to establish a productive laboratory colony of SCM.
Although excellent results are obtained with this technique,
procedures are somewhat time consuming. A simplified
technique has been developed at the Geneva Experiment
Station which produces large numbers of SCM for use in
laboratory studies."?
