Performance measures (Larval development time in days, Pupal development time in days and Pupal weight in mg) of Helicoverpa armigera on a range of host plants under laboratory conditions at a range of temperatures (°C). For multiple studies, we report the range in mean values and just the mean if only one study could be found.
