Abstract: 【Objective】 To clarify the effects of artificial diets with different nitrogen contents on the growth, development and reproduction of the Asian corn borer (Ostrinia furnacalis), and to explore the intrinsic N factors of different nitrogen treatments on the interaction of corn and pests and the surge of corn borer populations driven nutritionally. 【Method】 In the laboratory, five different nitrogen content feeds with nitrogen contents of 3.94%, 7.33%, 10.69%, 18.84%, and 30.31% were set to determine the effects of different nitrogen contents on the growth and development of the Asian corn borer.After that, the experimental population life table of the Asian corn borer was established. 【Results】 At 25℃ the low nitrogen level N₁ (nitrogen content 3.94%) failed to emerge normally, and the larval development period was the longest.When the nitrogen content increased to 18.84% (N₄), the intrinsic growth rate (0.13) and net proliferation (66.14), weekly growth rate (1.14), hatching rate (90.06%) the highest, average generation period (30.79), population doubling time (5.17) the shortest, which significantly different from the other four nitrogen levels (P<0.05), the larval duration was significantly shortened, the N₄ pupation rate (98.66%), emergence rate (95.45%), survival rate (91.33%), and average egg production per female (120.12±9.73) were the highest, but when the nitrogen content reaching 30.31%, the intrinsic growth rate (0.04), net multiplication rate (44.71), and weekly growth rate (1.04) the lowest, the average generation period (92.36), and the population doubling time (16.85) the longest, at 25 and 30℃ s close to that at 20℃.In addition, there was no significant difference in the pupal stage, adult moth lifespan, and female fecundity between the three temperature treatments (P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Nitrogen content is closely related to the individual development of the Asian corn borer and the population multiplication.In a certain interval, with the increase of nitrogen content, the growth speeds up and the population multiplication ability is enhanced.nitrogen 30.31% and low nitrogen 3.94% have a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of corn borer.
