temperature-dependent development and reproductive traits of tetranychus macfarlanei (acari: tetranychidae). | development and reproductive traits of tetranychus macfarlanei baker & pritchard (acari: tetranychidae) were investigated on kidney bean, phaseolus vulgaris l., at eleven constant temperatures. tetranychus macfarlanei was able to develop and complete its life cycle at temperatures ranging from 17.5 to 37.5°c. at 15 and 40°c, a few eggs (2-4%) hatched but further development was arrested. development from egg to adult was slowest at 17.5°c and fastest at 35°c for both females and males. using ike ... | 2012 | 22382712 |
