Mathematical Models for Predicting Development of Orius majusculus (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) and Its Applicability to Biological Control.

Complete development of Orius majusculus Reuter (Heteroptera: Anthocoridae) at nine constant temperatures, between 12 and 34°C, was evaluated under laboratory conditions. The maximum developmental period of 90.75 d occurred at 12°C, whereas the minimum of 11.
