Abstract:

Survival data, development and reproduction period of Ceroplastes floridensis on Cucurbita moschata were collected at temperatures of 15, 20, 25, 30°C, Relative Humidity 65±5%, and photoperiod (8:16) s (L: D). The highest value of the Intrinsic rate of increase (r) was 1.078, the final increase rate (λ) 0.075, the shorter generation length (T) was 71.73 days, and the highest Fecundity value of the citrus wax scale 316.82 at 30° C. Temperatures led to an increase in the rate of female reproduction that was raised on the Cucurbita moschata. Therefore, the temperature of 30° C was the optimal rate for the development and growth of the citrus wax scale population within the tested temperature.
