Effect of larval crowding on the life history traits of Sesamia nonagrioides (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
This study determined the effect of larval density-dependent competition for food on development and adult fitness in Sesamia nonagriodes Lef.(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae).Different numbers (5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 individuals) of larvae of the pink stalk borer were reared on a constant amount of food.Although crowding during the immature stages did not si
