Application of electron beam irradiation for insect pest control in agricultural products quarantine [Case study: Myzus persicae and Planococcus citri (Risso)]

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articlepeer-review

Abstract

The effects of electron beam irradiation on control of Myzus persicae and Planocococcus citri (Risso) were evaluated with the changes of mortality, emergence rate, fecundity, and egg hatchability. As a result of this study, M. persicae and P. citri (Risso) was not directly affected by electron beam irradiation with low doses (30, 60, 90, and 120 Gy) but the irradiation had effects on inhibition of development and reproduction of the pests.
