Life Table of Spodoptera exigua (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on Five Soybean Cultivars

Effect of five soybean cultivars (Sahar, JK, BP, Williams, and L17) on life table parameters of the beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was evaluated at 25±1∘C, 60±5% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16 h light/8 h dark. The highest and lowest net fecundity rates...

description Effect of five soybean cultivars (Sahar, JK, BP, Williams, and L17) on life table parameters of the beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) was evaluated at 25±1∘C, 60±5% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16 h light/8 h dark. The highest and lowest net fecundity rates were obtained on Williams (244.1±19.4 eggs/female) and L17 (80.5±6.9 eggs/female), respectively. The net reproductive rates (𝑅𝑜) were highest on Williams (137.0±11.2 females/female/generation) and lowest on BP (41.3±4.1 females/female/generation). The intrinsic rate of increase (𝑟𝑚) differed significantly among five soybean cultivars, ranging from 0.1169 day−1 (on Williams) to 0.122 day−1 (on BP). The highest value of finite rate of increase (𝜆) was on Williams (1.18 day−1), which was significantly different from other cultivars. The mean generation time (𝑇𝑐) was significantly different on various cultivars, ranging from 32.0±0.3 days (on L17) to 28.8±0.3 days (on Sahar). The results are discussed with respect to the potential effect of soybean cultivars on the performance of S. exigua.
