Abstract

Aphid, Hyadaphis coriandri, is a well-known and economically significant aphid species that attracts the attention of many professionals in various field. In a laboratory study of the biology of the coriander aphid, H. coriandri (Das), it was discovered that there were four nymphal instars. The duration of the aphid's first, second, third, and fourth nymphal instars was 1.50 ± 0.50, 1.25 ± 0.25, 1.00 ± 0.50, and 1.75 ± 0.25 days, respectively, while the length of the entire nymphal stage was 5.75 ± 1.26 days. The aphid's pre- reproductive, reproductive, and post-reproductive phases ranged from 1.25 ± 0.76, 5.50 ± 2.54, and 1.50 ± 0.50 days, respectively. Adult aphids lived for a total of 12.25 ± 4.31 days. 5.50 ± 3.55 nymphs might be produced daily by adult females, for a lifetime average of 27.5 ± 17.78 nymphs.

Conclusion

The nymphal instars of H. coriandri were completed in four stages. Adult longevity was 8.00 ± 3.04 days and the total nymphal duration was 5.75 ± 1.26 days. The adult female's capacity for reproduction was 5.50 ± 3.55 nymphs every day and 27.50 ± 17.78 nymphs per female during the course of her lifetime.
