Biological Features and The Mortality Life Tables of Aleyrodes lonicerae Walker (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on Rosa sp.

Abstract

Biology of the Lonicera whitefly, Aleyrodes lonicerae Walker (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) were studied on rose, Rosa sp. (Rosaceae) plants. Whitefly adults were collected from Mercurialis annua L. (Euphorbiaceae) plants in Adana. The development duration of egg, first, second, third, fourth larval (pupa) stages, total of A. lonicerae on Rosa sp. plants at 20°C were 8.44, 5.44, 5.50, 4.50, 5.19 and 29.07 days for the females and 8.15, 5.46, 5.92, 4.92, 5.38, 29.83 days for the males respectively. The development duration of egg, first, second, third, fourth larval (pupa) stages, total of A. lonicerae on Rosa sp. plants at 25°C were 8.00, 1.67, 2.33, 2.67, 9.67, 24.34 days for the females and 7.67, 2.33, 2.33, 3.33, 7.83 and 23.49 days for the males respectively. The mortality rate (%) of egg, first, second, third, fourth larval (pupae) stages of A. lonicerae at 20 and 25°C temperatures were 14.70, 13.97, 25.00, 20.58, 4.41; 2.89, 24.65, 26.08, 20.28, 13.06 respectively. The biggest k values at 20 and 25°C on rose plants were 0.2553 for the third larval stage and 0.3010 for the fourth larval stage, respectively.
