Abstract

A very simple model of normalized growth rates of temperate pasture legumes and grasses in response to temperature and moisture developed by Fitzpatrick and Nix for Australia was modified and used to examine the favorability of weather for the build-up of eight species of aphids in southeastern Australia. The work takes a physiological approach to describing the condition favorable for aphid population development.

Résumé

Un modèle très simple de la croissance normalisée des légumineuses et des graminées des pâturages tempérés en fonction de la température et de l'humidité, mis au point par Fitzpatrick et Nix pour l'Australie, a été modifié et utilisé pour étudier la convenance de la température pour l'accroissement de 8 espèces de pucerons dans le sud de l'Australie. Une approche physiologique est utilisée pour décrire les conditions favorisant la croissance des populations aphidiennes.
