Effect of Temperature and CO2 on Population Growth of South American Tomato Moth, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) on Tomato.

The effects of different temperatures (26, 28, 30, and 32°C) and CO2 concentrations (380 and 550 ppm) on the life table of Tuta absoluta were evaluated. The life history raw data of T. absoluta were analyzed by using the age-stage, two-sex life table.
