Abstract: In order to provide the basis for large-scale artificial breeding of Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, the composition of artificial diet for larvae was optimized by orthogonal design with 3 factors and 3 levels. Corn particle, sucrose and yeast extract were selected as the three key factors to determine their effects on the survival rate of larvae, larval developmental duration, mean pupal weight and emergence rate. Corn particle had significant effect on the survival rate of larvae. Sucrose had significant effect on mean pupal weight, and yeast extract had significant effect on larval developmental duration. As the results, the optimized weight ratio of corn particle to sucrose and yeast extract was 9:16:3.
