Treatment 1: Spodoptera sunia species brought from the field
Treatment 2: Species of Spodoptera sunia from the Breeding Laboratory
Treatment 3: Spodoptera sunia species Crossing (field-laboratory)
120 larvae per treatment were selected, 40 in each repetition for a total of 360 larvae in total.
A six-day-old larva was deposited per four-ounce cup with a 2-cm square piece of diet, with the help of a tweezers the larvae were placed on the millimeter sheet to measure the length of each larva, and they were weighed daily. on a Denver Instrument Co Serial No 3570 Analytical Balance.
-Larvae length: Each larva was placed on a millimeter sheet and the length measured in mm was observed.
-Hatching percentage: The number of eggs that hatched was counted visually.
- Weight of larvae: Larvae were weighed on a Denver Instrument Co Denver Analytical Balance, Cool, Serial No 3570.
- Weight of pupae: The pupae were weighed on a Denver Instrument Co Denver Analytical Balance, Cool, Serial No 3570.
- Sex of pupae: The abdominal part of the pupae was observed with the help of a Westover Scientific stereoscope. (Rizo, C., et al. 1994)
-Life cycle: The days it took in each of the larval stages were counted.
