The pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum is a polyphagous, sap-sucking insect pest with a worldwide distribution. We investigated the developmental time and survivorship in nymphs and longevity and fecundity in adults of A. pisum at five different temperatures applying with following two programs, TWOSEX-MSChart and TIMING-MSChart. Regarding to thermal effect on A. pisum, in this presentation, we will discuss about a population projection and following population parameters calculated in this study: adult preoviposition period (APOP), total preoviposition period (TPOP), oviposition days, eggs per reproductive female, first age of survival rate <50%, proportion of male and female individuals, and life table parameters (net reproductive rate, intrinsic rate of increase, finite rate of increase, and mean generation time).
The pea aphid Acyrthosiphom pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) is a pestiferous species with a worldwide distribution. We investigated the development periods and survivorship of A. pisum nymph, and longevity and fecundity of A. pisum adult. The study was conducted at five constant temperatures of 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30°C. Higher temperature threshold (TH) and lower temperature threshold (TL) were calculated by two nonlinear functions. The temperature range of A. pisum from TL to TH using empirical model (29.29) was wider than that using biophysiological model (21.85). The adult emergence frequency of A. pisum over full range of constant temperatures was simulated using developmental rat
