Temperature Effects on Development and Life Table Parameters of Tetranychus urticae (Acari: Tetranychidae)
Development, reproduction and life table parameters of <em>Tetranychus urticae</em> Koch were determined on leaves of peach (G. H. Hale cultivar) at different temperatures, ranging from 13 to 33°C under laboratory conditions. No development was observed at 13°C. Egg-to-adult developmental time decreased gradually from 17 to 27°C and increased at higher temperatures (27 to 33°C). An average of 136.43 degree-days was required to complete development above the lower threshold temperature (13.79°C). Mean total egg productions per female were 40.09, 18.74, 8.03 and 21.33 at 25, 27, 30 and 33 °C, respectively. Mean longevities of the females were 12.91±1.65, 5.92±0.55, 3.56±0.54 and 6.53±0.56 days, respectively at the above mentioned temperatures. The intrinsic rate of increase (r<sub>m</sub>) at different temperatures ranged from 0.108 to 0.213 day <sup>-1</sup>, with the highest value recorded at 27 °C. The highest and the lowest values of the net reproductive rate (R<sub>0</sub>) were obtained at 25°C (16.87) and 30°C (4.18), respectively. Doubling time (<em>DT</em>) varied significantly at different temperatures and the shortest and longest values of this period were obtained at 27 and 30°C, respectively. The results suggested that <em>T. urticae </em>was able to develop and reproduce within a wide range of temperatures, and that temperatures from 27- 30°C are the most suitable conditions for the development, survivorship and reproduction of the mite.
