Abstract:Feeding experiment was carried out on Cassida vittata Vill. under out door conditions. Sugar-beet leaf area consumption of larval and adult stages was estimated. The mean sugar-beet leaf area consumption was 170.5 mm 2 per larva during 17 days. The 4th and 5 th instars consumed 84.4% of the total leaf area consumption. The newly emerged adult consumed 754.3 mm 2 of sugar-beet foliage during 28 days, while reactivated adult consumed 2369 mm 2 for a period of 80 days, the mean sugar-beet leaf area consumed by on… Show more
