Effect of fumigation and juvenile hormone on oxygen consumption of the larvae of Corcyra cephalonica (Stainton).
Reduced effect of JH-I, JH-II and JH-III on oxygen consumption of II-V instars and increased effect on the oxygen consumption of VI instar larvae suggested that control of corcyra with juvenile hormones could be brought about only when applied to just emerged VI instar larvae. Similarly fumigation of juvenile hormone treated larvae could prove beneficial only at VI instar stage. The possibility of enhancing the effect of fumigant with pretreatment of JH will be futile as even only JH treated VI instar larvae develop into abnormal individuals which die later.
