Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata v. 45, no. 3, p. 277-281615016Summary: Several methods for hatching the eggs and rearing individuals of the first generation (fundatrices) of Sitobion avenae were investigated. The most successful methods were incubation of the eggs on certain grass seedlings (Poa annua, P. pratensis, P. trivialis, Trisetum flavescens and Festuca rubra) at 2C and rearing the fundatrices on grass seedlings (overall survival 66%), and incubation of the eggs in plastic boxes at 2øC and rearing the fundatrices on wheat seedlings (overall survival 62%).
