Effect of temperature on biological aspects and fecundity of citrus red mite Panonychus citri (McGregor) (Acari : Tetranychidae) [electronic resource]. تأثير الحرارة على المظاهر البيولوجية والخصوبة لأكاروس الموالح الأحمر Panonychus citri (mcgregor) (acari:tetranychidae). - P.1227-1231.

Includes reference

This work was carried out to study some biological aspects of Panonychus citri (McGregor) (Acari: Tetranychidae) on mandarin leaves. Experiment was determined at 20 & 25 and 30ºC ± 2ºC and 65 ±5 % RH at laboratory of Plant Protection Research Institute. Total developmental time of P. citri females was 15.36 & 11.79 and 9.45 days at 20 & 25 and 30ºC respectively, while male was 13.69 & 11.4 and 9.22 days at the same temperature. Total and daily egg production levels of P. citri was the highest at 25°C ( 22.6 / female and 2.1 eggs / day) followed by 20ºC (18 and 1.7 eggs).
