The results concluded that the increase in the amount of yeast reflected by significant decrease in the days to pupation as will as the larval duration, number of pupae/ml, preoviposition and oviposition periods, insignificant increase in pupal size (length and width), adult emergence and significant increase in percentage or pupation, pupal weight. number of eggs/ female and percentage of egg hatch UR - http://nile.enal.sci.eg/EALE/2003/AJAR/3703/0/181.pdf ER -
