Abstract

                                Studies were undertaken to find out the influence of temperature and relative humidity on survival and development of the larvae of the ricemoth, Corcyra Cephalonica (Stainton) within a temperature range from 15° to 40° (at 5°C interval) end, selative humidities of 60 to 90 per cent (at 15 per cent interval) at each temperature. Lesser larval period (17.50 days) was observed at 35°C and 90 per cent R. H. Higher percentage of larval survival (78.33) was observed at 25°C and 90 par cent relative humidity.
