Abstract
Gamma radiation treatment to eggs and larvae of Lasioderma serricorne and Stegobium paniceum showed an age and stage dependent response. A d ose of 25 Gy prevented eggs from developing to adult stage. A dose of 50 Gy was required to prevent older larvae from developing. Larvae of S. paniceum were comparatively more sensitive than those of L. serrico rne. In case of adults, doses above 30 Gy appear to produce a steriliz ing effect in both the species.
