Description

Some of the life cycle parameters of the citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (MCGREGOR), were estimated by rearing experiments at constant temperatures of 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 and 32°C. The durations of egg stage and pre-adult stage, and the mean generation time (T) were 5.3, 9.1 and 11.7, respectively, at 32°C. At 12°C, these values increased by about 6-7 times those at 32°C. Developmental zeros of the egg and pre-adult stages were 7.4 and 8.2°C, and total effective heat was 123 and 217 day-degrees, respectively. All of these parameters such as total fecundity, net reproductive rate (R0) and intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm) were maximum at 24°C, and the values (in case of sex ratio 7_??_:3_??_) were 42.6, 28.3 and 0.171/day, respectively.
