The effects of temperature on development of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) was investigated at five constant temperature 17, 20, 23, 26 and 29± 1 °C, 65± 5 % RH, and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L:D) hr fed on cabbage (Brassicae olerasia var. capitata) under laboratory condition using the age-stage, two-sex lifetable approach. The intrinsic rate of increase (r) of this aphid was highest at 29°C (0.3212 d-1) and lowest at 17°C (0.0.2157 d-1). The developmental rate of nymphs at different temperatures fit the linear equation, y= 0.005x-0.001 with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.98. The thermal summation of the pre-adult, the female, and the total life stages (from birth to death) was 194.6, 241.8 and 430.2 DD, respectively. The developmental threshold of the pre-adult, the female, and the total life stage was 0.29, 10.6, and 5.29°C, respectively. The mean generation time was 18 d at 17°C, which declined to 10.2 d at 29°C. The net reproduction rate (R0) was 26.6 offspring/ individual at 29°C, and it was considerably lower than the rates obtained at other temperatures. The highest net reproductive rate was obtained at 20°C (R0= 54.2 offspring/individual). In the absence of other limiting factors, populations of M. persicae would be expected to increase faster if introduced into environments having temperature ranging between 23 and 26°C.
