Influence of the Temperature Degrees on the Biological Aspects of Cotton Mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley, (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) on Hibiscus Plants
Abstract:The aim of this study shed light on the influence of two constant temperature degrees, 25±1°C, 30±1°C and fluctuate laboratory temperature ranged from 21.9±3.19°C to 31.7±3.91°C with an average of 26.8±3.5°C., on certain biological aspects of the cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley (1989) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). The results showed that the total life cycle of the solenopsis mealybug was shorter for females compared to males and it was significantly affected by the tested temperature degrees, th… Show more
