Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Mummification of Aulacorthum solani was highest at 18 °C and 20 °C, at 64% and 66% respectively.
- Association Emergence rate of Praon volucre was not affected by temperature and was between 79.6% and 93.4%.
- Association Sex ratio of Praon volucre did not differ significantly among the five temperatures, varying between 32% and 51% females.
- Association Adult longevity of Praon volucre strongly decreased with increasing temperature from 18 °C to 22 °C.
- Association Adult longevity of Praon volucre was similar from 22 °C to 26 °C.
- Observation Average tibia length of Aulacorthum solani at oviposition by Praon volucre was 0.52 mm.
- Observation Average tibia length of Aulacorthum solani at mummification was 1.17 mm.
- Association Host size of Aulacorthum solani at mummification was not influenced by temperature.
- Association Parasitoid size of Praon volucre was negatively affected by higher temperatures.
- Observation The threshold temperature for development of Praon volucre was 4.5 °C.
- Observation The thermal constant for development of Praon volucre was 270 DD.
- Observation Praon volucre performs best at temperatures from 22 °C to 24 °C.
- Recommendation A mixture of 2nd and 3rd instar nymphs of Aulacorthum solani is adequate for rearing Praon volucre.
