Description

The longevity and reproduction of Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky, 1855, reared on 31% humid and 15% (dry) irradiated rice, are studied. The irradiation was applied from a 60-Cobalt (60Co) source at the following doses: o (control), 0.2, 1, 5, 15, 30, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 kGY. (M.A.C.)
