Keyword(s):
AbstractTopical application of three analogues of juvenile hormone, ZR-515 (isopropyl 11-methoxy-3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,4-dienoate), ZR-777 (prop-2-ynyl 3,7,11-trimethyldodeca-2,4-dienoate), and JH-25 (7-ethoxy-1 (p-ethylphenoxy)-3,7-dimethyl-2-octene) to pre-diapause adults of the white pine weevil, Pissodes strobi (Peck), induced ovarian development and resorption of fat bodies. Control of this species by hormonal induction of reproductive maturity and related metabolic alterations at the onset of winter is suggested.
