Abstract

The effect of different doses of gamma radiation (2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 Gy) on

the infective juviniles (IJs) of Steinernema carpocapsae has been stud-
ied. The results showed that there was a positively relationship between

the mortality and the storage period of the infective juviniles. The suscep-
tibility of Corcyra cephalonica and Ephestia kuehniella to unirradiated

and 2 and 3 Gy gamma irradiated Steinernema carpocapsae were indi-
cated by the daily mortality rate. It was observed that the larval mortality

increased when gamma irradiated Steinernema carpocapsae was used as

the lower time was needed for larval mobidity. In contrast, the reproduc-
tive rate of the Steinernema carpocapsae IJs was decreased after the ir-
radiation.
