 ABSTRACT

Effect of different temperatures namely, 15, 20, 25±1 (Room temperature), 30 and 350C at 75 per cent relative humidity were evaluated on biology of cabbage butterfly, Pieris brassicae (L.) at department of entomology, Veer Chand Singh Garhwali Uttarakhand University of Horticulture and Forestry, Uttarakhand, India 246123. Observations on fecundity, size, hatching period (day), Length of Larva (mm), total larval duration, Pre pupal period (days), Pupal period (days), Post pupal period (days), Post pupal period, length of adult (mm), wing span , Sex ratio, Life span of male and female (days) and Mortality were recorded. Among different temperature, 300 C was found highly favourable for growth and development of Cabbage butterfly on broccoli leaves.

Key words: Cabbage butterfly, Temperature, Biology, Life span.
