Title: Irradiated boll weevils: pheromone production determined by GLC analysis

Journal Article · · J. Econ. Entomol., v. 68, no. 4, pp. 521-523
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1093/jee/68.4.521· OSTI ID:4156442

The production of pheromone by Anthonomus grandis Boheman when treated with 10,000 rad of $sup 60$Co gamma irradiation compared favorably with that of control weevils for 5 days; however, feeding (determined by frass collection) was reduced from day one. No direct correlation was found between production of pheromone and elimination of frass. (auth)
