Abstract

The survival of immature stages (lx) to the extent of 0.87, 0.94 and 0.67 per individual within a pivotal age of 40, 20 and 13 days, the net reproductive rate (ro) to the tune of 19.56, 68.27 and 9.63 females per female per generation, the mean length of generation time (t) to the extent of 59.95, 35.61 and 23.84 days, innate capacity for increase in numbers to the tune of 0.0496, 0.1186 and 0.0950 female per female per day and finite rate of increase in numbers to the extent of (λ) 1.05, 1.13 and 1.09 females per female, were recorded in respect of Chrysoperla carnea when grown on sterilized eggs of Corcyra cephalonica at different temperature levels, respectively.
