Abstract

Development rate of Homalodisca coagulata (Say) was linearly related to temperature from 16.7 to ca. 30°C. It is estimated that H. coagulata requires 113.8 degree-days from oviposition to egg hatch, with a minimum developmental threshold of 11.9°C. At higher temperatures, hatch rate was significantly reduced, especially at 35°C.
