Abstract

Abstract: In recent years, Dysmicoccus neobrevipes Beardsley (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is found as one of important alien species in China. For the alien pest, temperature always is a crucial factor on constructing stable population. In this study, the development and reproduction of D. neobrevipes population of pumpkin under different temperatures were investigated. The developmental duration, developmental rate, survival rate and fecundity of D. neobrevipes were compared in the laboratory under the conditions of 17, 20, 23, 26, 29 and 32 ℃, photoperiod 14L∶10D, RH (75±5)%, and the life table of the laboratory population was constructed. The results showed that in 20-29 ℃, the developmental durations of every stage of D. neobrevipes all decreased with the increasing temperature; under 20 ℃, both female and male nymph D. neobrevipes had the longest duration, being 46.95 and 50.26 d, respectively. The female and male nymph D. neobrevipes grew most fast under 29 ℃ (20.28 d) and 32 ℃ (20.70 d). The relationship between the developmental rate and temperature for each stage could be simulated by the quadratic regression. In addition, we found that the temperature could impact the survival rate of D. neobrevipes. The highest survival rate of D. neobrevipes was recorded at 29 ℃ for both female (70.3%) and male (69.3%) nymphs. The developmental threshold temperature of female and male was 13.80 ℃ and 11.61 ℃, and the accumulated temperature of female and male was 491.50 and 388.85 day-degrees, respectively. Both pre-oviposition duration and adult longevity decreased with increasing temperature, and the highest fecundity per female was 442.2 eggs at 29 ℃, and the lowest 111.8 eggs at 20 ℃. The population trend indexes under 20 ℃ and 29 ℃ were 19.1 and 168.2, respectively. At 17 ℃ and 32 ℃, D. neobrevipes of the 1st instar nymphs and 3rd instar nymphs were found to stop growth, suggesting that excessively high or low temperature was unfavorable to the growth of D. neobrevipes. In conclusion, temperature could significantly affect the growth and development, survivorship, reproduction and population increasing of D. neobrevipes, and the most suitable temperature range for this pest is from 23 ℃ to 29 ℃.
