    Abstract

    We treated adults of maize weevils (Sitophilus Zeamais Motschulsky) on wheat by a CO2 laser. The mortality of maize weevils reached up to 99.25-100%; it had no adverse effect on wheat germination; wheat moisture was decreased by about 1.7%; wheat color was normal and the grains had not been damaged after treatment.
