GROWTH OF THE COTTON SPOTTED BOLLWORM, EARIAS FABIA (LEPIDOPTERA: NOCTUIDAE) IN RELATION TO CONSUMPTION, NUTRITIVE VALUE AND UTILIZATION OF FOOD FROM VARIOUS PLANTS

Growth of Earias fabia varies with the degree of consumption, nutritive value and utilization of food from different plants. The insect grows best on diets whose nutritive value and degree of conversion into body matter are high. Nutritional inferiority of a diet is to some extent compensated by its increased consumption and absorption, yet the insect may fail to grow if the degree of conversion into body matter is low. Differences among the dietary amino acids and proteins and their utilization by the insect reflect variations in its growth on different plants, but those in the lipids and carbohydrates are not significant enough to be suggestive.
