From: Evaluation of Telenomus remus (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) as a biocontrol agent of Spodoptera litura (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) based on two-sex life table and functional response analyses

Parameter

Result

Net non-effective parasitism rate (G0)

15.26 ± 0.24

R0, F (female offspring/individual)

146.38 ± 2.47

R0, M (male offspring/individual)

43.59 ± 3.15

Net killing rate (C0) (eggs/parasitoid)

101.49 ± 7.57

Finite killing rate (ω)

0.6541 ± 0.0261

Stable killing rate (ψ)

0.4606 ± 0.0156

Transformation rate (Qp)
