Abstract
A study was conducted to determine if Coleotechnites eryngiella damage to Eryngium yuccifolium inflorescences in early development is compensated for later on in flower development. Only early developing inflorescences were able to compensate for damage done to the primary inflorescence.Suggested Citation
