[Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say sensitivity to ionizing radiation and pesticides].
The effects of acute gamma-irradiation on the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say) and sensitivity of insects, long time exposed on radioactively contaminated territories, to pesticides were studied. LD50 values of insects to ionizing radiation during the ontogenesis process was shown to increase (from 8 to 48 Gy). Differences were noted in the development rates of the natural population of beetles collected on agricultural lands with 137Cs contamination density of 0.05-1.2 MBq/m2, with the sensitivity to various pesticide groups being the same.
