Abstract: Effect of growth and development of Drosophila melanogaster were carried out by adding Vitex honey into the culture media. Life -span, average oviposition number, average imago weight, fecundity, SOD activity , MDA content were tested respectively. The result indicated that average life -span and maximum life - span of Drosophila melanogaster were extremely lengthened ( p < 0 . 01 ) . Oviposition number , imago weight were increased , cyclogeny was shortened , fecundity and SOD activity were signally increased (p < 0.05) , and MDA content was lowered (p<0.05) . This research showed that Vitex honey had a promotional function on lengthening growth and development, postponing senility and increasing fecundity of Drosophila melanogaste.
