Effects of temperature on the development of leafminer Liriomyza bryoniae (Kaltenbach) (Diptera:Agromyzidae) on head mustard
Chinese Journal of Entomology 10 (2), 143-150
Abstract: The developmental rates of the immature stages, fecundity and longevity of adult were determined in the laboratory of Liriomyza bryoniae on head mustard (Brassica juncea Coss) at 15, 20, 25, and 30°C. Regression equations relating temperature (X) to development rates (Y) for egg, larval and pupal stages were Y 0 0.0124X - 0.1045, y² = 0.9982**; Y = 0.0110X - 0.0622, y² = 0.9076**; Y = 0.0049X - 0.0271, y² = 0.9692**, repectively. Maximum fecundity (183.70±83.19 eggs per female) was obtained at 25°C Regression equation relating temperature (X) to days (Y) for longevity of adult was Y = 14.898 - 0.3868X, y² = 0.9712.
