Abstract
Adults (2-4 days old) of a laboratory-reared strain, Ebony Pearl, Anthonomus grandis Boheman were readily controlled with methyl bromide (MeBr) or aluminum phosphide. At temperatures below 10 degrees C, much higher concentration time products (CT) of MeBr were apparently required for control than expected if the relationship between CT and temperature were a straight line. There was some indication that adults 9-11 days old were more tolerant to aluminum phosphide than 2 to 4 day old adults. Fumigation schedule are recommended for quarantine control.
