Effects of Gamma Radiation on the Adult Stage of the Lesser Cotton Leaf Worm, Spodoptera exigua (Hb.)

Abstract: Moths of the lesser cotton leaf worm, Spodoptera exigua Hb. were exposed to a wide range (20–100 krad) of gamma radiation. Egg production was decreased by increasing the dose of exposure. Egg fertility was affected by low doses (20 krad) when treated females were mated to normal or treated males. Normal females mated with treated males put few viable eggs at 50 krad. Adult longevity was not affected by gamma radiation up to 50 krad after which the female longevity began to decrease. Zusammenfassung Wirkuhgen v… Show more
