Adaptability of the Soybean Aphid <i>Aphis glycines</i> (Hemiptera: Aphididae) to Temperature and Photoperiod in a Laboratory Experiment.

ABSTRACT: The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura, 1917, is a crucial soybean pest. Cultivated soybean, Glycine max (Carl von Linné) Elmer Drew Merrill, 1917, and wild soybean, Glycine soja Philipp Franz von Siebold & Joseph Gerhard Zuccarini, 1843, are summer hosts of A. glycines. In this study, the development, reproduction, and morphogenesis of A. glycines fed wild soybean (AgFW) were studied at different temperatures and photoperiods. The data were compared with that of A. glycines fed soybean (AgFS). At 20-29 °C, the adult lifespan of the first-third-generation AgFW was shorter than or equal to that of AgFS. Significant differences existed in the adult fecundity and intrinsic rate of increase between AgFW and Ag
