[Effects of temperature on growth, survival, and reproduction of feeding on corn kernels].

In order to examine the effects of temperature on the growth, survival, and reproduction of (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) feeding on corn kernels, the life table parameters of at 21, 24, 27, 30 ℃ were calculated based on the age-stage two-sex life table theory, and then population dynamics of was projected based on these parameters. The results showed that the life cycles of the pest could be finished at all the four temperature treatments. The developmental duration of each stage shortened with increasing temperature, and there were significant differences among treatments.
