Abstract

In this paper we examine the hypothesis that diapause induction in the polyvoltine pod midge Dasyneura brassicae Winn. (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is controlled by cumulative global solar radiation during the larval stage. The correlation between field observations of relative diapause for 3 years and four environmental factors (daylength, temperature, cumulative daylight time, and cumulative global solar radiation) was investigated. The cumulative global solar radiation during the larval stage clearly showed the strongest correlation with the observed relative diapause. It was estimated that larvae which cumulated less than 71.1 kWh m
