Abstract：The rice leaf folder (RLF) Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Güenée) is very difficult to rear and there is currently no
suitable artificial food for this species． A simple method for mass rearing the RLF on maize seedlings in a laboratory was
evaluated． We confirmed that the RLF can be reared successfully for several successive generations using this method．
Compared with the rice seedling method，this method not only requires less time but also results in higher pupation，
eclosion，hatchability and fecundity． An effective enclosure for mating and oviposition can be made from a plastic beaker
and plastic membrane．
