Abstract

The red spider mite (Tetranychus macfarlanei Baker and Pritchard) had an egg to egg generation period for mated and un mated females as 19.94±2.16 and 23.63±3.12 (April-May) compared to 22. 71±3 .25 and 25.91±2.56 days (August-September), respectively. The mated females produced both the sexes, while un mated females produced only males. Mated female had a higher fecundity (28.59-32.02) eggs/female) in comparison to unmated females in both the seasons. Measurements of different stages were also studied.
