Abstract
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.
