Abstract
Lygus hesperus Knight, a common polyphagous insect pest of certain widely grown California crops, undergoes a seasonal facultative diapause. Experiments described here were conducted upon both field-collected and laboratory-raised L. hesperus populations, and have demonstrated the critical effects of photoperiod and temperature upon the inception, termination, nullification, and intensity of diapause in this species.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
