Corcyra cephalonica developmental parameters when fed on diets of different proportions of pearl millet and cowpea and the number of parasitoids produced by the host larva

Treatments	Larval and pupal development time (days ± SE)	Larval survival (%)	No. of eggs laid per female (mean ± SE)	No. of H. hebetor adults emerging from individual C. cephalonica larva (mean ± SE)
100% pearl millet	29.4 ± 0.27b	81.33 ± 3.31a	43.80 ± 6.16b	2.77 ± 0.37b
50% pearl millet + 50% cowpea	30.41 ± 0.14a	82.00 ± 3.99a	111.4 ± 5.60a	3.76 ± 0.50ab
75% pearl millet + 25% cowpea	29.91 ±0.19ab	84.89 ± 3.82a	113.4 ± 11.70a	4.90 ± 0.78a
95% pearl millet + 5% cowpea	29.56 ± 0.25b	70.67 ± 5.51a	104.8 ± 15.16a	2.90 ± 0.43b
ANOVA	F = 3.96; df = 3,75; P = 0.01	F = 2.16; df = 3; 70; P = 0.1	F = 10.13; df = 3, 36; P < 0.001	F = 3.51; df = 3, 32; P = 0.03

Means bearing different letters were significantly different (Student–Newman–Keuls test, α= 0.05).
