Abstract

Treatment of larval Plodia interpunctella with sublethal doses of juvenile hormone repressed mating of the adults. This repression did not result from a reduced content of sex pheromone of females, but it may have been caused in part by reduced calling behaviour and abnormal antennae. An absence of juvenile hormone at the end of larval life is necessary for the development of normal reproductive behaviour of the adult.
