Abstract
The neurohormonal regulatory process in Conogethes reproductive system is poorly understood. This has impeded research on bioecology and management of pest species of Conogethes. The reproduction in Conogethes is physiologically complex embracing from other factors the influence of light, sound, plant odors, and hormones. The process is quite elaborate and requires in-depth, comprehensive studies.
