abstract
The age specific fecundity life table studies of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) were conducted at room temperature 25 ± 2 °C and 75 ± 2 percent RH on tomato in Department of Entomology, S.V. Agricultural College, Tirupati. Age specific fecundity life table of T. absoluta revealed that the net reproductive rate (R₀), intrinsic rate of increase (rm), mean generation time (Tc), corrected generation time (T), finite rate of increase (λ) and weekly multiplication of population (l⁷) were R₀ = 40.18 individuals per female, 0.19 (female progeny/female/day), Tc = 30.16 days, T = 28.94 days, λ = 1.20 and λ⁷ = 35.83, respectively.
