WP4: Rearing & Storage

WP4 has objectives:

  • using the acquired knowledge to formulate general principles and guidelines for mass rearing with respect to current practices, and
  • define alternative mass rearing approaches that exploit the generated knowledge to develop and maintain the phenotype of the insects for desirable traits.
