Abstract
Studies conducted on the effect of different prey insects on reproductive potential of Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) revealed that there is no correlation between the fecundity and ovipositional period. The highest fecundity (467.2 eggs/female) was obtained on sterilised eggs of Corcyra cephlonica (Stainton) while the highest ovipositional period (51.75 days) was observed on neonates of Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner). Among prey insects tested, sterilised eggs of C. cephalonica have been found ideal for production of C. carnea.
