Impairment of reproduction in the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Col., Tenebrionidae) due to larval feeding on triflumuron-treated diet
Journal of Applied Entomology - Zeitschrift für angewandte Entomologie 125 (7), 413-416
Abstract: The larvae of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) of different ages were exposed to various concentrations viz., 0.0001, 0.001 and 0.01 ppm of triflumuron up to pupation. The adults were allowed to feed on untreated diet. The preoviposition period, fecundity, egg viability and incubation period of the eggs laid were studied. Triflumuron significantly lengthened the preoviposition and incubation periods (P < 0.001). Fecundity and egg viability were also reduced (P < 0.001) due to the treatment. Both the strains were affected by the treatment.
