Abstract

The potential egg production and egg viability of the potato tuber moth, Phthorimaea operculella (Zell.) was significantly lowered when moths of either sex were exposed in 250 ml glass jars to vapours of orange peel oil emanating from 160 μ oil. Oviposition and egg hatching was totally inhibited when female moths of both sexes were exposed to 220 μl of the oil.

Résumé

Le potentiel reproductif (exprimè par le nombre d'oeufs et leur viabilite) des mites de pomme de terre Phthorimaea operculella (Zell.) etait significativement diminuè quand les mites des deux sex etaient exposes au vapeur de 160 μl huile d'ecorce d'orange. Oviposition et éclosion d'oeufs etaient prohibes quand les males et femmelles des mites etaient exposés au vapeur de 220 μl d'huile.
