“…E.C.D:-The efficiency of conversion of digested food in Mythimna separata, like E.C.I, successively increases up to III rd in star and fluctuated from IV th to VI th in stars. Similar Observations have also been reported by Mukerjee and Guppy (1970) [19] , Latheef and Harcourt (1972) [14] , Banerjee and Hock (1984), and Debora Mello da Silva et al (2017) [36] , however, Vats and Kaushal (1980) reported that E.C.D decreases from I st to IV th instars and then show a sudden increasing trend in V th instar. Sharma and Tara (1988) [24] mentioned a successive increase in E.C.D up to IV th in star while with very high decrease in the V th instar of a noctuid.…”

“…The decrease in the value of E.C.I at the last instar in general has been due to the last caterpillar preparedness for entering into pupation Pandian, T.J., et al (1986) [35] . Hirastsuk (1920), Evans (1939) [39] , M.C, Ginnis and Kasting (1959) [12] and Vats and Kaushal (1980) [31] has considered a gradual decline in E.C.I values, however, several entomologist (Schroder (1971) [25] , Baily and Singh (1977) [6] and Mackey (1978) [15] reported that noset pattern could be evolved for E.C.I in their respective studies. In Lepidoptera E.C.I may increase, decrease or show a little change with fluctuation.…”

Mythimna separate's energy transformation was examined with reference to food consumption, the basis for tissue growth at various instars, assimilation rate, and respiration rate. According to experimental results based on live, dry body weight, a single Mythimna separata caterpillar's average daily consumption increased from the first to the sixth instar. More food was devoured by the male caterpillar than the female. Males' metabolic activity was shown to be higher during the I st , III rd , and VI th instar stages than they were during the II nd , IV th , and V th instar stages. Average values for tissue growth and respiration indicated that as tissue growth grew from the first to the last instar of the caterpillar, so did the average rate of respiration. The consumption of food that promotes the growth of insect pest tissue affects the metabolic rate of the larvae.

Nutritional indices of Helicoverpa armigera Hübner (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae) in response to feeding on three different host plants were evaluated under laboratory conditions. Food consumption, assimilation and tissue growth were maximum for the larvae fed on Lycopersicum esculentum (tomato) than those of Pisum sativum (pea) and Zea mays (maize). Mean values of approximate digestibility (AD), efficiency of conversion of digested food into body tissue (ECD) and efficiency of conversion of ingested food into body tissue (ECI) fall in the range of reported values for lepidopterans.

“…In the later instars, the larvae feed upon small veins containing more cellulose, which is a factor deciding the amount of plant mass consumed. The nutritional requirements of insects are associated with biomass and duration of immature stages and has been also reported by Schroeder 17 and Vats and Kaushal 22 . More than 75% of the total food was consumed by the last two larval instars because of their higher weight.…”

Studies were conducted under laboratory conditions to evaluate the food consumption and nutritional indices for the development of Antheraea proylei larvae fed on Quercus glauca. Larval duration was 5.4±0.489, 6.4±0.48, 7.2±0.4, 9.8±0.74 and 14.2±0.74 days in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th instars, respectively. Larvae consumed a total of 28.85 g insect– ¹ day– ¹, egested 4.164 g insect– ¹ day– ¹ and assimilated 24.69 g insect– ¹ day– ¹ of food provided. 82.3% of tissue growth was observed in the 4th and 5th instar larvae. Approximate digestibility (AD) decreased from 91.94% in the first instar larva to 80.79% in the 5th instar larva. Efficiency of conversion of digested food (ECD) into body tissue and efficiency of conversion of ingested food into growth (ECI) increased from 1st instar larva to 5th instar larva. The result obtained in the present study indicate that Q. glauca could serve as an alternate host plant for rearing A. proylei in areas where the main host plant Q. serrata is not found.
