課程簡述	The mass-rearing of insects for agricultural application is gradually crucial in recent years. Lots of beneficial insects had already been utilized in human life, and became the important application for us. The silk from Bombyx mori, honey and pollen from Apis mellifera, and resin from Kerria lacca. Those economic insects had been massively reared for decades, and let human create various agriculture products or application. While the climate change and pathogen infection had become urgent problem in this century, we need to improve our rearing skills and technics to protect beneficial insects. So develop new rearing technics and methods are important for us. In this class, we will teach students how to find the potential beneficial insects or useful insects, how to verify their application, and what are their value in our agriculture. Without the doubt, the core value of this class includes discovering advantages of mass-rearing of insects, making insects become high value agricultural products, and realizing the needs of insects in our life.
