Abstract:

Adults of Ephestia cautella (Wlk.) were exposed to pressures of 100, 200, 300, 400 and 760 mm Hg at 26 ± 1 °C and 70 ± 5% r.h., in a specially designed apparatus in which a controlled atmospheric gas composition was maintained. Adult life was shortened at all reduced pressures; at 100 mm Hg all adults died in 14 hr. Oviposition was affected at reduced pressures resulting in a significant reduction in the number of eggs laid. At 100 mm Hg oviposition was negligible. A hypothesis to explain these observations is mentioned. © 1972.
