Pepper weevil infestation of three size classes (small = 10–14 mm, medium = 19–22 mm, large = 26–31 mm) of jalapeno pepper was examined. When all size classes were presented simultaneously to cohorts of three female and two male weevils, 19.5 ± 1.1 adults emerged from small peppers, 10.0 ± 1.0 from medium peppers, and 3.3 ± 0.5 from large peppers, and each of these values was significantly different. When presented sequentially such that only one size class at a time was available for oviposition, emergence of progeny from small and medium peppers did not differ and exceeded emergence from large peppers. Infestation data are discussed with respect to the length of time peppers are susceptible to pepper weevil oviposition in the field. Mean time to adult emergence was significantly shorter on small peppers (14.4 ± 0.1 days) than on medium peppers (15.9 ± 0.2 days), which in turn was significantly shorter than on large peppers (19.4 ± 0.6 days). Limitations to these findings are discussed.
