The effect of four host plants viz., Phaseolus sinensis, Lablab purpureus, Vigna radiata and Vigna mungo have been studied on the life-table statistics of Aphis craccivora. Our data revealed that, the age specific survival rate (lx) and age specific fecundity (mx) were observed higher on P. sinensis than V. mungo. The estimated values of net reproductive rate (Ro) for A. craccivora was significantly higher (100.0±1.3 nymphs/ aphids) followed by L. purpureus, V. mungo and V. radiata (F1=4.99, F2= 13.15; P<0.05). The maximum rate of population growth (rm) was observed on P. sinensis (0.438) and minimum on V. mungo (0.241) (F1=29.37, F2= 19.79; P<0.05). The weekly multiplication rate (rw) and finite rate of increase (?m) was observed minimum on V. mungo (F1=6.92, F2= 4.43; F1=20.71, F2= 14.08, P<0.05). Furthermore, the shorter generation time and impressive fecundity of aphids accelerate the vicious circle causing considerable economical loss. This study, according to growth index and life-table statistics, P. sinensis was the suitable host for population growth pattern of A. craccivora related to different host plants and its results contribute to better understanding the biology of the species and improve pest management skills.
