Changes in Ph Associated with the Application of Ammonia and Potassium Hydroxide to Diapausing Eggs of Teleogryllus Commodus (Walk.) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)

Abstract

Diapausing eggs of T. commodus were exposed to a:mmonia evolved from solutions of ammonium hydroxide in desiccators for specific periods. It was found that the pH of the egg contents increased with increase in concentration of the ammonium hydroxide and the period of exposure.
