Abstract
Female Anthonomus grandis Boheman fed diets containing 0.1% busulfan are incompletely sterilized. Fertility is significantly decreased when insects fed busulfan are dipped in 0.1% TH-6040 in acetone. The combined treatment should be valuable for sterilization of boll weevils in control programs which utilize sterile males.Keywords
