Demographic statistic of Diaphania indica Saunders (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). Diaphania indica is a pest of Cucumis sativus L. The information about the biology of D. indica is needed to determine appropriate pest management strategies. The aim of this study was to study the biology and life cycle of D. indica. The study was conducted by observing life stage development of D. indica, such as life cycle, head width and body length. The life table was determined by calculating mortality of D. indica individuals and fecundity at each age. Mortality and fecundity data of D. indica were then used to calculate the parameters of population growth including gross reproduction rate (GRR), net reproductive rate (Ro), mean generation time (T) and and intrinsic rate of increase (r ). The results show that the life cycle of D. indica is about 25.7 days, while egg stadium = 3.2 days, larval stadium = 13.5 days, pupal stadium = 7.9 days, imago stadium = 8.6 days, and preoviposition period = 3.9 days. GRR of D. indica is 263 individuals per generation. Ro = 51 individuals per female per generation. T is 31.3 days and the innate capacity for increase (r) = 0.1 individual per female per day. PENDAHULUANPengetahuan mengenai aspek-aspek demografi merupakan salah satu langkah awal dalam mempelajari perkembangan suatu populasi serangga. Demografi adalah analisis kuantitatif karakteristik suatu populasi, terutama hubungannya dengan pola pertumbuhan populasi, hubungan ketahanan, dan pergerakan populasi. Hal ini sangat erat hubungannya dengan dinamika populasi namun penekanannya agak berbeda, demografi lebih memusatkan pada pola perkembangan, kelahiran, kematian, dan pergerakan, sementara itu sebab dan akibat dari fenomena ini dipelajari dalam dinamika populasi. Aspek demografi suatu populasi terdapat dalam neraca kehidupan. Neraca kehidupan merupakan teknik menghitung angka kelahiran dan kematian suatu populasi. Neraca tersebut adalah ringkasan pernyataan tentang kehidupan individu populasi atau kelompok. Dari
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
