摘要
A study of the dose rate effects on survival of two species of insects which commonly infest commercial maize in Mexico (Tribolium castaneum and Prostephanus truncatus) was under taken using 60Co gamma radiation and 1.0 MeV electrons, to determine whether an optimum dose rate exists for the irradiation of grain infested with these insects. Experiments have shown that the effectiveness of gamma and electron irradiation were not influenced by dose rates from 10 to 120 Gy/min for 60Co and 35 to 300 Gy/min for electrons when the insects were irradiated at 250 Gy. Survival curves for each species are presented for both types of radiation. © 1979.
