Abstract
The development from egg to adult of Panonychus citri (McGregor) on mature lemon leaf discs averaged 11.0 days for females and 10.8 days for males at 26±1°C and 70±5% relative humidity. Overall mortality averaged 16.0%, but mortality was highest in the egg stage (6.0%). The preoviposition period averaged 1 day. Fertilized females produced an average 28.4 eggs in 11.5 days. The life span of adult males averaged 8.5 days, and individual males inseminated an average 9.8 females in 24 hours. Time spent in copulation averaged 14.5 minutes. Only 1 female accepted a 2nd mating when females were exposed to males 3, 6, or 9 days after the 1st insemination.
