Two Factors

Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank), a mite that infests stored food products, was reared individually on mold cultures at all combinations of five temperatures and four humidities. Mortality during immature stages was lowest at 72.5° F and 80% to 90% R.H. Development was usually accelerated by an increase in either of these two factors. Temperature and humidity had a direct influence on mortality and rate of development, but humidity also had an indirect effect by affecting the mold on which the mite feeds. Adults obtained at 70% R.H. were usually relatively small in size. Sex ratio of the adults was approximately one to one; the males developed faster than the females.

Temperature And Humidity

Adult females of Tyrophagus putrescentiae (Schrank), a mite that infests stored food products, were reared individually on mold cultures at all combinations of five temperatures and four humidities. A definite diminution in life usually occurred with increase in either temperature or humidity, and the oviposition period was the most affected. Total egg-production and rate of laying were highest at 72.5° F and 90% R.H., and both generally decreased with an increase in temperature or decrease in humidity from these values. Peak of egg-laying, however, was reached sooner at higher temperatures but egg-production was maintained at relatively high levels for shorter periods. Rate of increase was greatest and approximately the same at 90% R.H. within the range 72.5° to 81.5° F.
