Phenology and Population Dynamics of the Squash Bug, Anasa Tristis
Abstract
dc:descriptionA computer model that simulates the population dynamics of the squash bug, Anasa tristis DeGeer (Heteroptera: Coreidae), was constructed and used to predict the effect of various management options and environmental factors on this pest of cucurbit crops. The life-history data required for the model were obtained by field and laboratory investigations into several processes that control the population dynamics of this species. These processes include: fecundity, mortality, developmental rates, and diapause induction.
