Abstract

Life table data were calculated for Cotesia glomeratus (Linnaeus) on Pieris canidia (Sparrman). The ovipositing female survived for a mean period of 13± 0.29 days and produced a mean progeny of 163.8 females. The mean duration of immature stage of parasitoid was 35.71 ±0.45 days. The average total progeny was 245±8.05 with a sex ratio of 1:2.03 (M:F). The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) was 0.126 per female per day. The net reproductive rate (Ro) was 150.46 and net generation time (T) was 39.80 days.
