Developmental rate and lower temperature threshold of the tomato pinworm
Environmental Entomology 9 (2), 245-246
Abstract: Developmental rates for the immature stages of Keiferia lycopersicella (Walsingham) are presented. Laboratory development from oviposition to adult takes 456C°-days at a threshold temperature of 9.5°C. Greenhouse development requires from 444 to 495C°-days based on the 9.5°C threshold.
