Abstract
Biology, morphology and taxonomy of Lesser Date Moth, Batrachedra amydraula (Lepidoptera: Batrachedridae) under two different temperatures
Highlights
The maximum population of eggs laid by female was in T4 (50.6) and minimum in T5 (39.2) and overall mean population fecundity was (45.4) the maximum fertility of eggs were in T2 (81.65) % and minimum in T4 (69.82) and overall mean percent population was observed (78.83)
The maximum life span in male was observed in T1 (50.2) and minimum in T2 (46) with the overall mean (47.72) days whereas; the sex ratio with the maximum population was observed in T2, T3 / T5 (1:2) and minimum in T1 / T4 (1:1) with the overall mean sex ratio of male and female (♂:♀) were observed such as; 1.2 and 1.4 in corridor natural temperature under laboratory conditions, respectively
There were minimum population of eggs laid by female as compared to corridor room temperature but it was found with maximum population in T3 (19.4) and minimum in T2 (16.5) with the overall mean population of fecundity was (15.33) / female with the maximum fertility of eggs were in T2 (95.15) % and minimum in T3 (73.19) with the overall mean percent population was observed (83.14)
Summary
All stages of lesser date moth such as; egg, larvae, pupae, and an adult were taken through the infested fruits and visually captured from the orchards, those were reared as a maintained culture at laboratory conditions. Biology study of Lasser date palm under laboratory conditions Before the biological study, adults of lesser date moths were separated proper confirmation of male and female.
