Abstract:
A study was conducted on the affects of gamma radiation from a Cogki source on all the develop-mental stages of rice weevil, S. Oryzae L. Complete mortality of eggs was obtained by 2500r, of larvae by 8000r, of pupae by 10,000r and of adults by 12,000r. Production of progeny was stopped-at 9,000r in all the developmental stages. 12,000r might be considered as minimum effective dose for the control of S. Oryzae L.
