الحساسية الإشعاعية و استحداث العقم الجنسي عند تشعيع عذارى ذبابة ثمار القرعيات Dacus ciliatus (Loew)‎

الملخص EN

The results of gamma irradiation of Dacus ciliatus (Loew) pupae indicated that the 1-2 days old pupae were more sensitive to irradiation than the 7 days old pupae.

Emergence of adults from 7 days old treated pupae continued up to 700 Gray exposure, whereas it stopped at 40 Gray exposure of 1–2 days old pupae.

Results showed the negative impact of irradiation on the reproductive potential of the adults emerged from irradiated pupae at both ages used, with females being more irradiation sensitive than males.

Completely sterile males and females were obtained from 7 days old pupae irradiated with 100 Gray and 70 Gray, respectively.

It can be concluded from this study that the sterile insects approach is potentially effective in managing cucurbit fruit fly population.
