Development of the DD-136 strain of Neoaplectana carpocapsae at constant temperatures.
The development of the DD-136 strain of Neoaplectana carpocapsae was studied on three food sources at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 33, 35, and 37 C. No growth occurred at 10 or above 33 C. At 15, 20. and 25 C, growth and reproduction occurred. The most favorable growth occurred at 25 C. At 30 C, N. carpocapsae developed to adults but did not reproduce. Key Words: temperature-growth effects, DD-136 strain.
