Abstract
The development of Chrysoteuchia topiaria was studied in controlled-temperature chambers. Estimates of the threshold temperatures for the egg, larval, and prepupal-pupal stages were 9.4,6.8, and 9.8°C, respectively. An overall threshold temperature for egg to adult development was estimated to be 8.8°C. Degree-day summations above thresholds averaged 107, 484, and 388 for the egg, larval, and prepupal-pupal stages, respectively.
