O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a biologia e as exigências térmicas de Tetranychus ludeni Zacher (Acari: Tetranychidae) em folhas de algodoeiro (Gossypium hirsutum L. r. latifolium (Hutch)). Foram utilizadas câmaras climatizadas, ajustadas nas temperaturas de 20, 23, 25, 28 e 30ºC, umidade relativa de 70% e fotófase de 12 horas. Os períodos de desenvolvimento de ovo a adulto variaram de 20,77 (20ºC) a 8,50 dias (30ºC), em fêmeas, e de 18,83 (20ºC) a 7,75 dias (30ºC), em machos. As temperaturasbase, estimadas pelo método da intersecção de X, para os períodos de desenvolvimento de ovoadulto, foram de 14,05ºC para fêmeas e 13,91ºC para machos, enquanto os valores da constante térmica estimados de acordo com a lei de Réamur foram de 138,34 grausdia, para fêmeas e 130,91 grausdia, para machos. Na temperatura de 30ºC foram observados os maiores valores de razão intrínseca de crescimento (0,418), número de ovos de fêmeas/dia (3,47), fecundidade (61,29) e taxa líquida de reprodução (48,00) e o menor valor para o tempo médio de uma geração (9,27).The objective of this work was to study the biology and thermal requirement of Tetranychus ludeni Zacher (Acari: Tetranychidae) on leaves of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. r. latifolium (Hutch)). Bioclimatic chambers at 20, 23, 25, 28 and 30ºC, relative humidity of 70±10%, and a 12 hours:12 hours (L:D) photoperiod were utilized. Development period of eggadult, varied from 20.77 (20ºC) to 8.50 days (30ºC), for males and from 18.83 (20ºC) to 7.75 days (30ºC), for females. The threshold temperature of development, estimated by X intercession method for development period of eggadult were 14.05ºC, for females and 13.91ºC, for males. While those values of thermal constant estimated by Réamur law were 138.34 daydegrees for females and 130.91 daydegrees for males. At 30ºC of temperature, the highest values of the intrinsic rate of increase (0.418), number of eggs/females/day (3.47), fecundity (61.29), reproductive rate net (48.00), and minimum value to the mean generation time (9.27) were shown.
