Abstract
Three hundred female boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis B., were isolated from males in small screen cages and buried in ground trash during the fall and winter of 1960-1961 at College Station, Texas. The cages were removed from the ground trash the following March and 70 weevils were alive. Twenty-nine of these deposited fertile eggs. Apparently, sperm from fall matings remained viable during the winter months.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
