      abstract = {Excerpt from the report Summary:  High-voltage cathode  rays were used to study their effect on rice weevils and on  wheat seed.  Exposures of 10,000 to 200,000 r.e.p.  (roentgens equivalent physical) were employed.  Adult rice  weevils irradiated at 20,000 and 30,000 r.e.p. died within  a week without reproducing.  When exposed to 10,000 r.e.p.,  they lived for 7 or 8 weeks and nearly all of them failed  to reproduce.  The egg stage failed to develop after  exposure to 10,000 r.e.p.  However, this dosage did not  control infestations in wheat.  Wheat seeds germinated  after doses of up to 200,000 r.e.p., but the embryonic  plants did not continue to develop if they received doses  of 40,000 r.e.p. or more.},
