Abstract
AbstractThe eggs of Nabis alternatus Parshley, which are laid in the stems of alfalfa plants, can be identified by their opercula, which protrude from the stem. Most eggs were laid in the upper portion of the main stem where the mean widths of the stems were 1.5 to 1.7 mm, and the hardness averaged 7.4 kg. The mean and minimum heights of oviposition increased with increasing total height of stem and the number of eggs laid also increased. Eggs laid in alfalfa stems that were subsequently allowed to dry had low percentage hatch.
