Abstract
Temperature affected the development and longevity of the sweetpotato weevil, Cylas formicarius elegantulus (Summers), reared on sweet potato variety Jewel. Mean developmental time decreased as temperature increased from 20 to 30°C. Adult weevils lived longest at 15°C, indicating that prolonged storage of sweet potatoes at 15°C will not eliminate weevil populations. Frequency of mating, availability of males, and crowding significantly affected fecundity.
