Abstract :This study has been conducted to determine some biological parameters of the Phenacoccus madeirensis Green insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae); on four vegetable plants insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(7 different varieties);; tomato insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Hazera and Torry); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Solanum lycopersicum L.);, eggplant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Adana Topağı and Anamur); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Solanum melongena L.);, pepper insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Safran and Zafer); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Capsicum annuum L.);, and Pepino insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Minski); insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Solanum muricatum L.);. Experiments were carried out in climate cabinets at 25 ± 2 °C, 60 ± 10% R.H., and 16L: 8D); in Plant Protection Department Nedim UYGUN Biological Control Laboratory of Agriculture Faculty, Çukurova University between 2017 and 2018. Life table data were analyzed by using an age-stage two-sex life table computer program. According to results of this study, P. madeirensiscompleted its life cycle on eggplant, tomato, pepper and pepino. However, eggplant has been determined as the most suitable host plant for P. madeirensis during this study and the highest values of life table parameters were obtained from eggplant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(R0 = 99.14 nymphs/female, r = 0.147 d – 1 , λ = 1.159 d – 1, GRR = 289.49 nymphs/female);. Consequently, this invasive pest could potentially cause economic losses in vegetable crops
