Abstract
Boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis Boheman, from field collections or reared in the laboratory were treated topically or by a dry-film technique with toxaphene, toxaphene + DDT, carbaryl, or azinphosmethyl. Total lipids were extracted from weevils that survived and died from this treatment and the fatty acids in the extracts were determined. Analysis of the fatty acids with gas-liquid chromatography indicated significantly higher levels of stearic, linoleic, and linolenic acids in dead weevils and higher levels of palmitic and oleic acids in the survivors.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
