Red cotton bug_Temperature based phenology model_dataset
Description
This dataset contains three main documents: 1. Raw data on temperature-based life cycle of red cotton bug Dysdercus koenigii (Pyrhocoriade: Heteroptera) collected in laboratory at six different temperatures between 15-35 oC which canbe very well used for constructing a temperature-based phenology model predicting potential population growth of the insect in response to temperature changes. 2. Real time maximum and minimum temperature data for 30 years (1995-2022) for six different geographical locations of India (Hisar, Junagadh, Akola, Nagpur, Parbhani and Coimbatore) for simulations of pest risk according to the temperature conditions of selected locations 3. A word document containing detailed information on data content, How data was collected, What are the file formats/structures of data arrangements for re-use, Dataset composition: Minimum number of sample size, replicated data with a final mean data presented, How data is being censored and the parameters worked out by the ILCYM software, Structure of data file for simulations using real-time data from various geographical locations. Use of the data: Temperature-based phenology modelling and gis based risk mapping of the pest insect Type of data: Cohort based life table, wherein single life stage is evaluated separately at each of the test temperature Method followed: Cohort updating and rate summation approach Curry et al (1978) Phenology modelling cetred on Cohort based life table using Insect Life Cycle Modelling Software (ILCYM) developed by International Potato Center, Lima, Peru (Tonnang et al., 2013; Sporleder et al., 2017) Minimum sample size : Immature life stages: 100 individual insects per replication, experiments were three times replicated, so total 300 immature stages were evaluated at each test temperature Adult life stages: 10 individual insects, each male and female adults separately at each of the test temperature, thrice replicated, total sample of 30 adults per test temperature
