Determination of the biological parameters of <i>Nabis pseudoferus orientarius</i> Remane, 1962 (Hemiptera: Nabidae) under laboratory conditions.

ABSTRACT: Cotton is an important industrial crop that is used in the textile and oil industries, in animal husbandry, and has economic value. Many insect species cause damage in cotton production areas. Nabis species are important predatory insects that feed on many soft-bodied insects, larvae, and eggs found in cotton fields. In this study, some biological parameters of Nabis pseudoferus orientarius were examined under laboratory conditions with 25 ± 1 °C temperature, 65 ± 5% humidity, and 16:8 L: D conditions. In the results of working, the average egg hatching time of N. pseudoferus orientarius was found with 9.83 days, the average preadult development time was 26.85 days, and the average adult life was 62.6 days. The average preoviposition, oviposition, and postoviposition p
