Abstract
Granular materials were used to cover the artificial diet and the eggs of Anthonomus grandis Boheman after the eggs were sprayed on the diet surface as a substitute for the usual diet scarifyiug and drying operation, The number of adult weevils produced from the petri dishes when the diet and eggs were covered with mortar sand. Vermiculite, fine mineral granules, and corncob grit was as great as or greater than that produced from the regular egg implanting method. By use of the granular material covering, the scarifying and drying operations of the regular egg planting method can be eliminated.
