A selection index of multiple quantitative traits of the predator Cryptolaemus montrouzieri (Mulsant) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) through 12 inbreeding generations

Abstract Morphobiological indicators and selection index are helpful tools to obtain promising genotypes and selecting multiple traits for genetic improvement of the predator, Cryptolaemus montrouzieri (Mulsant) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae). The present study was carried out at the Biological Control...
