Effect of Temperature on the Development, Reproduction and Survival of Tetramoera Schistaceana (lepidoptera: Tortricidae)
Journal of Asia-Pacific Entomology(2024)
Abstract
Tetramoera schistaceana Snellen is an important stem borer of sugarcane, which causes severe damage to sugarcane in China. Temperature is a key factor affecting its development and reproduction. Development duration, reproduction and survival rate of T. schistaceana were determined at five different temperatures (20, 23, 26, 29 and 32 °C) in this study. Results showed that temperature had significant effects on the development duration, survival rate and reproduction of T. schistaceana. The development rate of T. schistaceana for each stage increased linearly with increasing temperatures between 20 and 32 °C. Egg hatching rate, larval pupation rate and pupal eclosion rate were the highest between 23 and 26 °C. The lower thermal threshold (T0) for egg, larva, pupa, pre-adult and whole generation were 9.98, 9.80, 9.47, 9.50 and 8.87 °C, respectively and the thermal constant (K) for the development of the respective life cycle stages of were 89.29 for eggs, 400.00 for larvae, 151.52 for pupae, 625.00 for pre-adult and 666.67DD for whole generation, respectively. The average fecundity per female was also the highest between 23 and 26 °C. Therefore the optimum temperature range for the development and reproduction of T. schistaceana was between 23 and 26 °C.
