Mo. Cortezrocha et al., A STUDY ON THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF WHEAT-VARIETIES TO RHYZOPERTHA-DOMINICA F (COLEOPTERA, BOSTRICHIDAE), The Southwestern entomologist, 18(4), 1993, pp. 287-291
Samples of 13 wheat varieties were studied for relative susceptibility
, effect on reproductive rate, and grain weight loss to the lesser gra
in borer, Rhyzopertha dominica F. Results indicated that Yavaros C-79
variety was the most susceptible and Ciano T-79 the least; grains of t
he other varieties were moderately attacked. Also, none of the wheat v
arieties tested were resistant to R. dominica.
