Abstract

Ephestia cautella Lepidoptera Pyralidae
The ability of males of Ephestia cautella to mate and transfer sperms after gamma radiation as 5-6-day old pupae was investigated. The results indicate that gamma radiation had no significant effect on mating, sperm transfer and percentage of egg hatch.
