In: Annals of Agricultural Science 2002.v.47(3)Summary: Fourth and fifth larval instars of Philosamia ricini (Boisd.) were fed on different components of an artificial diet, which was recommended, by Kaleemurrahman and Gouri (1982) for this insect after replacing tapioca with castor leaf powder. Larva consumed 3. 78 and 18.41 g of the control artificial diet during the fourth and fifth instars, respectively. The corresponding values for the fresh castor bean leaves where 3.16 and 18.08 g, with no significant difference between the values of both types of food. Replacement the soybean in the control diet with the same amount of bran caused an increase in the weight of ingested food by fifth instar larvae. The higheSt amount of consumed diet was recorded in the following cases: (control diet after replacing soybean with bran, control diet after adding sucrose and vitamin C, and control diet after adding sucrose, vitamin C, and casein, respectively). The same trend could be applied for approximate digestibility.
