Data from: Topical application of synthetic hormones terminated reproductive diapause to facilitate rearing of a univoltine weevil for weed biological control agent

These are results of a series of laboratory experiments to determine if topical application of methoprene and 20-ecdysone can terminate reproductive diapause of the weevil, Ceratapion basicorne, which is a recently permitted biological control agent of yellow starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis). Adult weevils feed on leaves, creating pin holes, and lay eggs inside leaves. Diapausing weevils were treated with various doses of methoprene (0, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0 micrograms) dissolved in acetone in experiments 1 and 2. They were treated sequentially first with acetone or 20-ecdysone (1.0 microgram) and then with methoprene (1.0 microgram) in experiment 3 and were treated with 20-ecdysone followed by methoprene in experiment 4.
