Abstract

Shell seal quality was a factor in the resistance of almond cultivars to Paramyelois transitella (Walker). A device which measures leakage rate of air, under controlled pressure, through almond shells provided data that correlate with susceptibility to infestation of almonds by the navel orangeworm.
