- Research indicates that host egg storage temperature significantly affects the production of progeny, with higher success at 6 °C compared to -24 °C.
- Additional findings reveal that exposure duration to refrigerated egg masses and the number of females in rearing conditions also influence progeny production, emphasizing the importance of optimizing these parameters for effective pest control.
