Abstract
Topical application of three analogues of juvenile hormone, ZR-515 (isopropyl 11-methoxy-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,4-dienoate), ZR-777 (prop-2-ynyl 3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,4-dienoate), and JH-25 (7-ethoxy-1 (p-ethylphenoxy)-3,7-dimethyl-2-octene) to pre-diapause adults of the white pine weevil, Pissodes strobi (Peck), induced ovarian development and resorption of fat bodies. Control of this species by hormonal induction of reproductive maturity and related metabolic alterations at the onset of winter is suggested. L’application topique de trois substances analogues à l’hormone juvénile, nommément le ZR-515 (isopropyle 11-méthoxy-3,7,11-triméthyledodéca-2,4-diénoate), le ZR-777 (prop-2-ynyl 3,7,11-triméthyledodéca-2,4-dienoate) et le JH-25 (7-éthoxy-1 (p-éthyléphénoxy)-3,7-diméthyle-2-octène) sur des adultes sexuellement non matures du charançon du pin blanc, Pissodes strobi (Peck), avant la diapause, induisit le développement des ovaires et la résorbtion des matières grasses. L’auteur suggère que cet insecte soit réprimé au début de l’hiver par l’induction hormonale de la maturité sexuelle, et autres proches altérations métaboliques, ce qui produirait la mortalité hivernale.Keywords
