Abstract-Mating competitiveness of F1 males and females, whose fathers were exposed as 5-6 day old pupae to 0.2kGy of gamma radiation. was determined for two strains of Ephestia cautella (A and B) by confining them with unirradiated insects. The results indicated that irradiation at 0.2kgy, which was a substerilizing dose for this species, does not lower the mating competitiveness of F1 adults.
