Effects of six host plants on the development and fecundity of Cicadulina bipunctella

Abstract

Abstract: The study on the development,survivorship and fecundity of Cicadulina bipunctella reared on corn,wheat,sorghum,rice,millet,barley and Leptochloa panacea showed that the insect could develop and reproduce on all test host plants except for Leptochloa panacea.The development duration of C.bipunctella at its immature stages reared on sorghum was the shortest(24.1 d),then on corn (24.2 d),and the longest on wheat (25.5 d).The survival rate (40.8%),longevity (12.2 d) and oviposition per female (12.3 eggs) of female adults reared on rice were lower than those reared on the other five host plants.Based on the life-table parameters,the most suitable host plants for the development and reproduction of C.bipunctella were millet and corn,followed by sorghum,barley,wheat and rice.

Key words: Cicadulina bipunctella, Life table parameters, Host plants
