Abstract
Among abiotic factors, temperature can greatly affect the reproductive potential of insects.
A study was then carried out to determine the influence of temperature on the fecundity of young and old females of olive psylla (E. olivina Costa). Investigations consisted of: (i) study of the action of six constant temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30, 32, and 34 ± 0.5°C) on six series of twenty young females that had mated; (ii) determination of the effect of high temperatures (32, 34, and 35 C ± 0.5°) on three series of 15 laying females; (iii) effect of short exposures (24 and 48 h) to 34 °C on two series of 10 females that were then transferred at 25°C. The results showed that laying capacity of young females was decreased when the temperature exceeded 20 °C. In particular, there was a total inhibition of ovary activity at 32 °C resulting in no laying at all.
Accordingly, the duration of laying activity was reduced at 30 °C, but not between 20°C and 25°C. These results are in agreement with the notion that laying activity of psylla takes place in spring and autumn and stops in summer.
High temperatures (34 °C and 35 °C) did not favour laying activity of old females.
Likewise, short exposures at these temperature affected negatively the fecundity of young females witch explains the laying behaviour of olive psylla in south Tunisia (regions of Sfax and Zarzis).
