Effect of Temperature and Humidity on Laboratory Population of Ephestia elutella Hübner

In this paper,five life table parameters (length of generation,net productive rate,innate capacity for increase,population trend index and days for population to double) were obtained by studying the agespecific life table of the laboratory population of Ephestia elutella Hübner,under the conditions of 4 temperatures (15,20,25,30℃) combined with relative humidity 85%.We also studied the effects of temperature and relative humidity on adult longevity,survival rate,development time,fertility and hatching rate.
