Development and Fecundity of the White Peach Scale at Two Constant Temperatures
Abstract
White peach scale, Pseudaulacaspis pentagona (Targioni-Tozzetti), required a minimum of 110.8 days to complete a generation at 13.3 @+ 2@*C and 40.4 days at 26.4 @+ 0.3@*C. Adult maturation and oviposition encompassed the longest intervals. Females began laying eggs 50 days after molting to the adult at 13.3@*C and 16 days at 26.4@*C. The period of oviposition by the cohort spanned 54 and 20 days, respectively, at 13.3 and 26.4@*C.Downloads
