Abstract
Domates güvesi, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)'in hayat tablosu
The life history of the tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) [Lepidoptera:Gelechiidae)], was studied at 25±1ºC and humidity 65±5% in the laboratory. For this purpose, development and survival of immature stages, adult longevity, fecundity and ovipositon period of T. absoluta were studied. According to the results, it was determined that the width of the head capsule of larvae for first, second, third and fourth were 0.157, 0.293, 0.391 and 0.751 mm respectively. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm), finite population increase (?), net reproductive rate (Ro) and mean generation time (To) of T. absoluta were 0.132323,1.1415,42.01offspring/individual and 28.25 days, respectively. The life expectancy of a newborn egg was 42.60days. This study was carried out in Plant Protection Central Research Institute in 2013.
