Abstract
Developmental time, longevity, and reproductive capability of Campoletis sonorensis (Cameron), a parasitoid of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith), were measured under laboratory conditions. Total developmental time for C. sonorensis from oviposition to adult emergence was 25.9, 18.4, and 15.4 days for the temperatures of 20, 25, and 30°C, respectively. Mean adult longevity of adult C. sonorensis ranged from 26.8 days at 20°C to 6.5 days at 30°C. Female parasitoids produced a mean number of 224.5 progeny and lived 11.2 days when held at 30°C and provided with 40 fall armyworm larvae per day.Keywords
