Abstract
A procedure and apparatus were developed for the separation of corn rootworm eggs from the soil. A soil sample containing rootworm egg was placed into a 1-gallon jar containing sodium hypochlorite and water. To aid in dispersal of the soil, the jar containing the soil sample was rotated on a ball mill. After rotation the sample was taken to the egg-separation apparatus and processed. The residuum was floated in water and magnesium sulfate to eliminate most of the extraneous matter.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
