In some journals and books, it's said that the best artificial medium for rearing Rhizoglyphus Mite is the Bot and Meyer's medium. However, I couldn't find the original article on the internet, anyone, who know the compositions of the medium?
Dear Ito
I can’t give you a direct link to Bot & Meyer’s paper but it is on-line. Please follow this thread:
1) Go to http://content.ajarchive.org/cdm4/browse.php
2) In the drop down menu at the top choose ‘Journal of the Entomological Society of Southern Africa’ and hit ‘Go’.
3) Select Page 3 (of 6)
4) Click through to Volume 29 (1967). This should be at the top of page 3.
5) In the left hand panel at the bottom is Bot & Meyer’s paper ‘An Artificial Rearing medium for Acarid Mites’. Click below it on ‘Click here’ (logically enough) and you can read it and download it. The composition of Bot & Meyer's medium is on page 1.
