Abstract

Feeding capacity and life span of Neocunaxoides anderi when reared at 26
!1°C and 70% ± 5 R.H and 30 ±1°Cand 75% ± 5 R.H. on eggs of Agrotis ip < /em>silon
(Ashmed), Phythorimaea opercullela (Zeller) and Meloidogyne javanica (Treub)
Chitwood were studied.
Female feeding capacity of N. anderi when feed on P.opercullela was 434.8 ±
16.1 with daily rate 8.8 eggs/female and 365.5 ± 25 with daily rate 12.6 eggs/female at
26 ±1°C and 30 ±1°C respectively.
Shorter life span of female N. anderi was observed when reared on egg
masses of nematodes; it was 55.2 ± 3.2 and 27.9 ± 2.2 at 26 ±1°C and 30 ±1°C
respectively than the other preys.
