A pheromone-mediated mating disruption is a vital tool in the management of insect population dynamics that not only prevents mating but also delays mating in the target insect. Here, we examined the effect of delayed mating on the longevity and reproductive performance of the global pest, Spodoptera litura Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). Delayed mating was imposed on both sexes simultaneously, males only, and females only. The results showed that a 30–40% reduction in the successful mating rate of S. litura was caused by 7-d delay in mating. Increased mating ages of both sexes of S. litura resulted in a significant decrease in 3-d-old delayed mating, followed by an increase in mean duration of copulation. Furthermore, delayed mating had a significantly negative influence on the number of S. litura eggs produced. Mating delay imposed on both sexes simultaneously had a significantly greater effect on longevity and the number of eggs than when it was applied to either sex alone, and females were more severely affected by delayed mating than males in terms of longevity. Percentage of mating, fecundity, and female longevity were all significantly correlated with the number of days delayed mating. However, the hatching rate of eggs was not significantly affected by an increased delay in mating. Overall, our results indicated that delayed mating in both females and males drastically reduced the females' reproductive output, which itself was affected more by increasing the age at mating of females than males. |
