[Action of beta radiation on the black bean aphid Aphis fabae Scop. (Aphididae, Homoptera)]
Abstract:
A study was made of the effect of direct single exposure to beta-radiation of 0.5, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 50 Gy on development and reproduction of Aphis fabae Scop. (Aphididae, Homoptera). The numbers of bean aphid are prognosticated with regard to the radiation dose applied.
