Abstract
Tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (F.), larvae were found to be more tolerant to DDT when reared on an artificial diet high in ascorbic acid content than when reared on the same diet low in ascorbic acid. An additional source of lipids in the diet was also found to increase the tolerance of the larvae to DDT. Other dietary components were found to influence tolerance of the larvae to DDT.
