Abstract
An invisible green fluorescent powder used in crime detection and a portable black light were employed in a method developed for marking and recovery of boll weevils (Anthonomus grandis) released in movement studies. Marked weevils were readily detected by gross examination in the release area after dark.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
