[Objective] This study was to find out the artificial diet formula for Erigoni- dium graminicolum （Sundevall） to realize its indoor artificial breeding. [Method] Using orthogonal decomposition method, the diet most suitable for the normal and quick growth of Erigonidium graminicolum （sundevall）, was developed by adding different species and different proportions of fresh insects to the artificial diet based on the formula of total nutrient solution proposed by Zhao Jing-zhao. [Result] The most suit- able formula for the development and growth of Erigonidium graminicolum （Sundevall） is 10 ml of egg white, 2 g of honey, 2 g of sucrose, 10 ml of water, 5 g of Ci- cadella viridis, moderate amount of cornmeal, compound vitamin B1 and vitamin C1. [Conclusion] The development of new type artificial diet can provide timely and nec- essary material premise for its large-scale indoor propagation.
