Larvae of Ectomyelois ceratoniae Zeller were reared on three diets: basal diet (BD); lysine diet (LD), which is the basal diet fortified with lysine in concentrations ranging from 125,250,500,750, and 1,000 ppm; and soybean lysine diet (SLD) (BD plus 4% boiled soybean flour and 500 ppm lysine). Larval survival and rate of development were higher in diets containing lysine plussoybean flour. Larval development to the pupal stage was more rapid as the concentrations of L-lysine was increased. Number of eggs and egg hatch were optimizedwith the addition of at least 750 parts per million (ppm) of L-lysine or 500 ppmplus soybean flour.
