In an experiment, freshly hatched larvae of an insect (Khapra beetle) were reared on a basal diet ( complete diet without cholesterol) with increasing amounts of cholesterols. Results obtained are shown in the graph given in the table:

The graph indicates that

 

(1) Cholesterol is an essential dietary requirement of Khapra beetle

(2) Growth of Khapra beetle is directly proportional to cholesterol concentration

(3) Cholesterol concentration of 2 ug/g is the optimum level.

(4) Growth of Khapra beetle is inhibited when cholesterol concentration exceeds 5ug/g diet.

(2) the predator does not always survive when transferred to a new environment

(3) the method is less effective as compared with the use of insecticides

(4) the practical difficulty of introducing the predator to specific areas.
