Abstract
Life tables were constructed for the predatory mirid bug Cyrtorhinus lividipennis Reuter under laboratory conditions. An average of 4.7 females/female/day on the fourth day were produced when Nilaparvata lugens Stal (BPH) nymphs alone were used while 3.8 females were produced on the fourth day when a mixture of N. lugens and Sogatella furcifera (Horvath) (WBPH) was used. However, the innate capacity of increase for C. lividipennis was found to be 0.13 with BPH alone as prey while it reached 0.30 with a mixture of BPH and WBPH nymphs.
