Abstract
Studies on biology of Oligonychus mangiferus (Rahman and Sapra) at combination of eight constant temperatures and relative humidities (RHs) viz., 7.0°C with 85% RH, I0°C with 80% RH, 15.0°C with 75% RH, 23.0°C with 70% RH, 31.0°C with 65% RH, 34.0°C with 65% RH, 36.0°C with 60% RH and 40.0°C with 55% RH revealed that the optimal condition for the development of these mites are 15.0-31.0°C and 65-75% RH. The highest temperature and the lowest RH accelerated the rate of development and induced more reproduction of O. mangiferus. Its population also multiplied 30.81 times in a generation time of 27.36 days at 31.0°C and 65% RH, while the same population only increased 7.46 times in a generation time of 48.07 days at 15.0°C and 75% RH. Fecundity was highest at 31.0°C and 65% RH with 46.43 eggs per female. The highest intrinsic rate of natural increase was observed at 31.0°C as 0.125 per day.
