Kim, D.S., & Lee, J.-H. 2015 Multi-modal oviposition model of overwintered Unaspis yanonensis (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) females and its field validation.
Keywords:
Notes: A multi-modal oviposition model of overwintered Unaspis yanonensis (Kuwana) (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) was developed to predict the population of crawlers in citrus orchards for future incorporation into a population model of U. yanonensis. Three temperature-dependent components, namely, temperature-dependent total fecundity (TDF), age-specific cumulative oviposition rate (ACO), and age-specific survival rate (ASR) functions, were incorporated into the oviposition model. The developed oviposition model should be useful for timing control action targeting on the crawler population in citrus orchards.
