Abstract
When reared in the laboratory on grain sorghum the life-cycle of Oligonychus pratensis (Banks) lasted 7-13 days and the total length of life varied from 14 to 26 days. Six to 14 eggs were laid per female per day with the highest oviposition on the sixth day in the adult stage. Age-specific life-tables were constructed for one generation under 2 rearing methods, and a population increase of more than 70-fold was predicted to occur under the test conditions
