Developmental rates of the aphid Aphis pomi (Aphidoidea: Aphididae) and its parasitoid Aphidius ervi (Hymenoptera: Aphidiidae) / Radovan Malina, Ján Praslička, Janka Schlarmannová. -- Developmental rates of the aphid Aphis pomi and its parasitoid Aphidius ervi were compared at four constant temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30◦C). Aphis pomi required 159.07 degree-days (DD) above lover developmental threshold (LDT) of 0.3◦C. Aphidius ervi required 229.73 DD above LDT of 5.98◦C. Developmental rate of A. pomi is higher than the developmental rate of A. ervi at the same conditions
