Mortality was lowest at with 18% and 0% at and nymphal stages, respectively. The developmental period of nymphal stage was 8.4 days at , and it decreased with increasing temperature. The developmental period of the nymphal stage was 6.7 days at . The lower threshold temperature calculated using a linear model was , and the effective accumulative temperature was 120.1DD. Adult longevity was 14.9 days at , and total fecundity was observed 58.5 at . According to the life table, the net reproduction rate was 47.5 at , and the intrinsic rate of increase and the finite rate of increase were 0.36 and 1.43, respectively, at . The doubling time was 1.95d at , and mean generation time was 7.43d at .Read More
