A Life Table of the Asiatic Maize Stem Borer, Ostrinia furnacalis Guene

The survivor ship and fecundity rates of Ostrinia furnacalis Guenee were measured in the laboratory using the major host plant, the maize plant. Raw data analysis of the age-specific single-sex female life table is described. The intrinsic rates of increase were calculated with respect to single se...
