Abstract
The relationship between the rate of larval and pupal development and constant temperatures for the tufted apple budmoth, Platynota idaeusalis (Walker), is discussed. A logistic equation was used to model this relationship. No statistical difference was found between male and female developmental rates. The maximum rate of development was estimated to be ca. 4% per day at ca. 32.2°C, while the highest rate of survival occurred at 26.7°C.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
