  • 1. Department of Applied Entomology, Warsaw Agricultural University, Warsaw (Poland)

Description

Subsequent irradiation treatments (re-irradiation) of the bulb mite with low doses of gamma radiation lower its fecundity and fertility. Population of the bulb mite cumulates the detrimental effects of the repeated irradiation treatment with low doses. As a consequence, the fertility of mites is completely inhibited by the third irradiation treatment with a dose of 50 Gy. (author)
