| Abstract: | Summary The juvenile hormone JH III, when incorporated at 1.0 ppm in the diet of adult male boll weevils (Anthonomus grandis Boh.), increased the biosynthesis of its 4 pheromone compounds by 3 times. The biosynthesis at lower and higher levels of JH III was less. JH I was not active at any of the concentrations tested.In cooperation with the Miss. Agr. and For. Exp. Sta., Miss. State, MS 39762.
