Abstract
It was found that five different starches incorporated into artificial diet in place of sucrose made the diets significantly less nutritious for spruce budworm larvae (Choristoneura fumiferana (Clem.)).The applicability of this to the natural situation — budworm larvae feeding on growing foliage — is unknown.Keywords
