“…Thus, adult longevity, oviposition period, and development time of immature stages were significantly affected by different host plants (Saeed et al 2010). Shorter development time and higher rates of reproduction with low mortality rate of insects on a host indicate greater suitability of a host plant (Awmack and Leather 2002).…”

The effect of different host plants including cabbage, cauliflower, mustard, radish, and broccoli on biological parameters of Pieris brassicae (L.) was studied in the laboratory at 28°C, 65 ± 5% RH and 12L:12D photoperiod. Duration of each life stage, longevity, the intrinsic rate of natural increase (r m ), net reproductive rate (R 0 ), mean generation time (T), doubling time (DT), and finite rate of increase (k) of the cabbage white butterfly on the different cole crops were estimated. Differences in fertility life table parameters of the P. brassicae among host plants were analyzed using pseudo-values, which were produced by Jackknife re-sampling. The results indicating that cabbage might be the most suitable food for P. brassicae due to the shorter development time (16 days), longer adult longevity (12 and 9 days for female and male, respectively), higher fecundity (281 eggs/female), higher intrinsic rate of natural increase (0.1156 females/female/day), lower doubling time (6.00), lower larval mortality (70.33%), and higher yield of adult (30%). Therefore, it can be concluded from the present study that P. brassicae prefers cabbage for fast and healthy development with low larval mortality and highest number of adult yield than other cole crops.

Plutella xylostella is an important pest of cruciferous crops worldwide. However, information regarding the age‐stage, two‐sex life parameters of P. xylostella, which is vital for designing more effective control methods, is currently lacking. The present study reports age‐stage, two‐sex life table parameters for P. xylostella on napa cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. napa), white cabbage (B. oleracea var. capitata), and cauliflower (B. oleracea var. botrytis) under laboratory conditions at 25 ± 2°C, 50–60% relative humidity, and a 16‐h light : 8‐h dark photoperiod. The time for development from an egg to a male or female adult P. xylostella on white cabbage (mean [± SE] 41.15 ± 0.54 and 39.50 ± 0.54 days, respectively) was significantly longer than that on cauliflower and napa cabbage. Furthermore, P. xylostella fecundity on cauliflower (261.90 ± 4.53 eggs female) was significantly highest than on napa cabbage and white cabbage. Intrinsic rate of increase (r) and finite rate of increase (λ) were highest on cauliflower 0.182 day−1 and 1.199 day−1 respectively as comparison to napa cabbage and white cabbage. The highest gross reproductive rate (GRR) and net reproductive rates (R0) of P. xylostella 65.87 and 52.58 respectively on cauliflower then those of other hosts. The findings of the present study indicate that cauliflower is the most suitable cultivar (host) for the development of P. xylostella. Based on these findings, crops like cauliflower can be used as trap crops when napa cabbage and white cabbage are the main crops.

“…The development and survival rates of Plutella xylostella and Pieris brassicae vary on different host plants, which correspond with plant suitability for these herbivores (Hasan and Ansari ,b,c, ; Saeed et al. ). Shorter development times, higher rates of reproduction and high survival rates of insects on a host plant indicate greater suitability of that host plant (Singh and Parihar ; Awmack and Leather ).…”

Athetis lepigone (M€ oschler) is a new insect pest that feeds on corn seedlings in summer corn region of China. It is an omnivorous insect, which not only infests corn, soya bean, peanut and other crops, but also feeds on fallen and decaying leaves of some crops and weeds. Effects of host plants, corn, cotton, peanut, wheat and soya bean, on larval and pupal development and survival, and the fecundity of adults of A. lepigone were studied under laboratory conditions. The developmental time from egg to adult was the shortest (30.78 days) on germinating wheat kernels and the longest (40.13 days) on corn leaves. Larval survival was the highest (80%) on germinating wheat kernels and lowest (55%) on soya bean leaves. Hatching rate was the highest (92.98%) where eggs were oviposited by the females developed from larvae that were fed on germinating wheat kernels. Similarly, fecundity was the greatest on germinating wheat kernels (337), while the lowest fecundity (145) was observed on cotton leaves. The highest intrinsic rate of increase (0.22) and net reproduction rate (181.39) were found on germinating wheat kernels. Germinating wheat kernels were recognized as the most suitable host plant for A. lepigone because of the shortest developmental period, highest survival and highest fecundity. The results correspond with the field habits of A. lepigone and clearly show differences in development and adaptability on the five tested host plants. The findings will serve as baseline information to better understand the biology of the pest, which can be utilized in an effective management programme.
