Abstract

The adult of the Cotton caterpillar, Palpita indica (Saunder) laid eggs more on mature leaves than on aged and developing leaves. They laid more on leaves than on petiole and stem, and more on the adaxial than on the abaxial surface side of the leaves. Larvae of the Cotton caterpillar showed their preference in the order of the cucumber (Cucumis sativus), gourd (Lagernaria siceraria), watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) > oriental melon (Cucumis melon L. var makuwa), wax gourd (Benincasa hispida), melon (Cucumis melo), star cucumber (Sicyos angulatus) > sponge cucumber (Lufa cylindrica), cotton (Gossypium indicum). There were no distinct differences among varieties and lines that were collected and hybridized at the Gochang Watermelon Experiment Station in Korea. There was a positive relationship between the leaf area and the degree of damage by the Cotton caterpillar. The feeding amounts of the Cotton caterpillar excrement were gradually increased to 16-18 days after hatching, after that the amounts of excrement were rapidly decreased.

수박 부위별 산란습성은 상위엽과 하위엽보다는 중간부위의 잎에 산란량이 많았고 잎자루와 줄기보다는 잎에, 잎의 앞면보다는 뒷면에 주로 산란하였다. 목화바둑명나방 유충의 작물 선호도는 오이, 박, 수박 등의 순이었고, 참외, 동아, 멜론, 안동오이 등은 중간정도이었고 수세미와 목화는 매우 낮은 선호도를 보였다. 수박시험장에서 수집한 유전자원과 육성중인 계통에 대한 목화바둑명나방 유충의 선호도는 품종 및 계통간의 뚜렷한 차이가 없었으며 보유중인 품종 중에서는 목화바둑명나방에 대한 저항성 계통을 발견할 수가 없었다. 목화바둑명나방의 섭식량을 추정하기 위한 일별 배설량은 유충 초기에 배설량이 매우 적었고 점차 증가하여 16~18일차에 최고에 달하며 그후 다시 급격히 감소하였다.
