ABSTRACT
Myzus ornatus
(Laing, 1932) is an anholocyclic and polyphagous species. In winter it can continue developing by infesting
decorative plants in greenhouses and houses. This paper verified the length of the pre-reproductive, reproductive and post-reproductive stages of wingless and winged female
M. ornatus
that develop in winter months
.
The total life span and female fecundity were
determined. The basic demographic parameters of a
M. ornatus
population were calculated. Significant statistical differences between
the post-reproductive phase, life span and fecundity of wingless and winged females are presented. During the development of one
generation, the population increases 37.41 fold. The ability to develop in winter, in greenhouses and houses, means it is possible for
M.ornatus
to infest host plants early in spring, as soon as temperatures become adv
antageous for plant development.
