Abstract
Results of the obser-vation of the spring activity of the vetch bruchid, B. brachialis are presented. The occurrence of 4 larval instars is based upon head capsule measurements. Immature stages were removed from seed pods collected at intervals throughout the vetch growing season. Additional data on the biology of the bruchid was obtained from isolation tests conducted under field and laboratory conditions. Development from egg to adult averaged 30 days.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
