iological characters and life table parameters of Typhlodromus pyri was determined at three different temperatures degree. Developmental time of T. pyri differed according to temperature degree. Life cycle was 7.31 days at 30ºC while, it elongated to 11.36 days at 20ºC. Female survival immature% affected with different temperature these values were 79.72, 88.46 and 91.58% at 20, 25 and 30ºC, respectively. Our results indicated that the predator consumed significantly more prey at 30ºC than other degree of temperature. The highest fecundity (36.82 eggs / ♀) at 30ºC while, it decreased to (19.28 eggs / ♀) at 20ºC. The effect of temperature on life table parameters was determined. The mean generation time (T) was decreased when the temperature increased, the net reproductive rate (Ro) value were 9.48, 14.12 and 24.36 times for 20, 25 and 30ºC. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) was 0.10, 0.17 and 0.21 individual/♀/day for the above same order.
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.
