Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Effects of Cathode-Ray Irradiation on the Rice Weevil in Wheat Differences in the effects between types of radiation have been reported in numerous references in the earlier literature. However, later workers, including Packard and Heilbrunn and Mazia, in Duggar (5) agree that the different types of radiation produce similar effects when comparable Energy inputs per unit of time and per unit of volume are absorbed, indicating an advantage of cathode rays in some applications. The major objective of the first test was to determine the effects of cathode-ray ir radiation on rice weevils infesting wheat. The initial series of tests, using an electron beam unit, was preliminary in nature. It was expected that the results would point the way to more intensive experiments and a practical method of insect control in stored wheat.
