%X Net reproductive rates and cohort generation times are tabulated for pearl millet head miner (Heliocheilus albipunctella) reared on 4 diets (Bio-Serv® 9782 and 3 pearl millet-based diets) at 24, 26, 28 or 30°C. The highest R0 values of 5.84 and 4.33 females per female were estimated when the head miners were fed Bio-Serv® at 30° and early exserted millet at 24°, respectively. Tc tended to be shortest at 26 and 28°.
