Abstract

Mitchell (1975) experimentally investigated the oviposition behavior of bruchid beetles on mung beans. Janardan (1980) developed a stochastic model, assuming a rate lambda until one egg is laid and a rate mu(<lambda) on a bean having already one egg. From Mitchell's data it appears that rate of laying eggs (on a bean) is influenced by a random phenomenon by which the beetle changes the rate either after one egg is laid or after two eggs are laid on the same bean. Thus here we have developed a new stochastic model incorporating this random phenomenon. Estimation of the parameters of the model and measure of fit of the model to the experimental data are also provided.
