Description

Effects of gamma and X radiation on the different development stages of pests such as Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Acaroidea have been evaluated. It was found that Coleoptera pests were the most sensitive to ionizing radiation, while Acaroidea pests needed the highest doses. It was also established that the development stages were more radiosensitive than the imago forms. Applied doses were compared with food irradiation standards. 48 references are given. (E.G.M)
