STERILITY EFFECT OF GAMMA RADIATION ON LARVAL AND PUPAL STAGES OF CHRYSOM"YA BEZZIANA STERILITY EFFECT OF GAMMA RADIATION ON LARVAL AND PUPAL STAGES OF CHRYSOMYA BEZZIANA
Abstract
The larvae and pupae of C. bezziana were subjected to radiation at 500 to 6000 rads. Three-day-old pupae at 3000 to 4000 rads radiation produced total sterility without affecting adult emergence or longevity.
