Abstract
Fertility tables were determined for Ancylostomia stercorea (Zell.). The caracteristic parameters for this pest of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) were obtained in a well ventilated room with mean temperature 27° C ± 3° C and relative humidity of 68 % ± 5 %. The intrinsic rate of increase (rm) was found to be 0.108 females/day. The finite rate of increase (\) or the multiplication rate per female per day was 1.28. The net reproductive rate (Ro) of the population was 94.81 and the mean generation time (T) was 43 days. In other words, the population multiplies 94.8 times in a generation time of 43 days. It was estimated that on reaching stable age distribution, the population of A.stercorea would comprise 59.96 % eggs, 36.71 % larvae, 3.05 % pupae and 0.28 % adults. ----- Des tables de fertilité ont été déterminées pour Ancylostomia stercorea. Les paramètres caractéristiques de ce ravageur de pois d'angole (Cajanus cajan ) ont été obtenus dans une pièce bien aérée à une température moyenne de 27° C ± 3° C et une humidité relative de 68 % ± 5 %. Le taux intrinsèque de croissance (rm) est de 0,108 femelle par jour. Le taux de multiplication par femelle et par jour est de 1,28. Le taux net de reproduction (Ro) de la population est de 94,81 et la durée moyenne d'une génération est de 43 jours. En d'autres termes, la population est multipliée par 94,8 au cours d'une génération de 43 jours. Il a été estimé qu'une fois atteinte une distribution d'âge stable, la population d'Ancylostomia stercorea se compose de 59,96 % d'oeufs, 36,71 % de larves, 3,05 % de nymphes et 0,28 % d'adultes.
