Abstract EN
Different temperature zones have significant impact on the population dynamics of Plutella xylostella.
Effective management of P.
xylostella requires the knowledge of temperature tolerance by different life stages.
In the current study, fitness parameters of diamondback moth were reported by using age-stage, two-sex life table traits at four constant temperatures (15, 20, 25 and 30 °C).
The life cycle of P.
xylostella was significantly longer at 15 °C.
The 20 °C level of temperature was found optimal for fecundity, gross reproductive rate (51.74 offspring) and net reproductive rate (44.35 offspring per individual).
The adult pre-oviposition period was statistically at par at all four level of temperatures.
However, the survival was maximum at 20 °C as compared to other three temperature ranges.
Based on the current study, it was concluded that temperature has a great role in population build-up of P.
xylostella and effective management tactics should be applied to prevent significant damage to cabbage and other cruciferous crops when the temperature in the field is near 20 °C.
