Abstract

A caged study was conducted to compare preoviposition, oviposition, posoviposition and maximum free living periods among Boophilus microplus (Canestrini) females of three different weight categories. Significant differences (p<0.01) on the oviposition period were found among the three groups.  No significant differences were found among other periods.
