Four cereals namely corn, rice, millet and wheat were tested solely and mixed with groundnut. Among the eight treatments, corn + groundnut was superior diet in almost biological parameters of <em>C. cephalonica </em>followed by millet + groundnut. The experiment showed that the corn + groundnut are biologically better option for production of robust eggs of <em>C. cephalonica.</em></p> <p>DOI: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v2i4.11587">http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijasbt.v2i4.11587</a></p>Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol. 2(4): 585-588<p>&nbsp;</p> ER -
