Abstract:Experiment was conducted to check the biological parameters and feeding efficiency of Chrysoperla carnea fed on Planococcus citrimealy bugunder controlled environment (24±1 °C with 60 ± 5 % RH), during 2018. Results regarding developmental time indicated that egg incubation, larva and pupal periods were 3.60±0.1, 9.65±0.19 and 6.01±0.17 days respectively. Apparent mortality (100qx) was maximum (11.11) for pupa and minimum (5.00) was during 3 rd instar. Life expectancy (ex) for egg phase was highest (5.69) and … Show more
