Abstract
We studied pupal weight, fecundity, and potential and achieved fecundity of imagoes of large fruit-tree tortrix Archips podana Scop. for caterpillars reared on apple, currant, pear, lilac, and plum plants. Pupal weight had no effect on fecundity in the first generation but was reflected in the second generation. The dependence of potential and achieved fecundity of imago on pupal weight was nonlinear with a trend to optimum within certain limits.
