Effect of temperature and diet on Plodia interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) development with special reference to Isomegalen diagram and accumulated degree days

Abstract: Immature development times of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella were studied in the laboratory at four different constant temperatures (20, 23, 25, 27°C) reared on a standard diet (D1) and chocolate (D2). The minimal duration of development from oviposition to adult emergence was inversely related to temperature, ranging from 2.3±0.36 days to 50.5±0.5 days for D1 and from 36.7±0.53 days to 106.73±1.10 days for D2 for 27°C and 20°C, respectively. The minimum development threshold (tL), obtained from l… Show more

“…The life cycle of P. interpunctella is directly influenced by temperature. Under experimental conditions, optimal larval development and adult reproduction occur at between 20°C and 27°C (Defilippo et al 2019). The minimum temperature threshold for development ranges from 16°C to 20°C, depending on diet, rearing conditions and geographical origin of the populations (Johnson et al 1992, Mohandass et al 2007, Defilippo et al 2019).…”

The insect can enter diapause, normally during the fifth larval instar, triggered by a combination of reducing photoperiod and temperature (Tzanakakis 1959).…”
