  4. Purposes for Rearing Insects

  5. Amblyseius swirskii

  6. Types of Insect Rearing Systems

  7. Medfly Screwworm

  8. Options for Colonizing Insects

  9. Maintaining the Quality of Colonized Insects • Collection of appropriate biotypes • Colonization and strain development • Rearing proficiency • Colony management • Behavior-genetic selection • Strain replacement

  10. Specifications- Requirements for a product or service Standards- the level of quality at which a specification is written

  11. III. Monitoring QualityIII. A. Quality Control Criteria and Standardized Tests III. B. Sampling for Consistent QualityIII. C. Production, Process and Product Control

  12. Quality Control Criteria • Quantity- number of pupae & adults • Size- weight of pupae • Fecundity- oviposition & egg hatch • Rate of Development- synchronization • Adult Behavior- flight & longevity • Field Performance- achieve purpose

  13. Determining Standard Deviation Number (n) = measurement Mean (X) = sum n’s/number n’s Variance (V) = sum of squares (X-X)2 Standard Deviation (S) = square root of V

  14. IV. Evaluation and ManagementIV. A. Structured Diagnostic ProceduresIV. B. Quality Control Versus Methods DevelopmentIV. C. Periodic Review Versus Crisis Review

  15. Periodic Review VersusCrisis Review

  16. V. Total Quality Management

  17. Generic Guidelines for Quality Systems • Policy, Planning and Administration • Design Assurance and Change Control • Control of Purchased Materials • Production Quality Control • User Contact and Field Performance • Corrective Action • Employee Selection, Training and Motivation

  18. VI. Quality Control ResourcesVI. A. WorkshopsVI. B. Global QC ProgramsVI. C. References
