The distribution of the eggs of the sorghum shootfly, Atherigona soccata Rondani (Diptera: Muscidae)
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 September 2011
Abstract
Field and laboratory observations revealed that the placement of eggs of the sorghum shootfly, Atherigona soccata, among sorghum stems tended to be random or slightly aggregated rather than regular, which suggests that the site of oviposition by a female is little or not determined by the presence of other eggs already laid. The possible effects of this type of distribution on the mortality of the first-instar larvae are briefly discussed.
