Efficacy of Pheromone on Capturing Angoumois Grain Moth (<i>Sitotroga Cerealella</i>) in Stored Rice (<i>Oryza Sativa</i> L.) Grain

Efficacy of Pheromone on Capturing Angoumois Grain Moth (Sitotroga Cerealella) in Stored Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) Grain

An experiment on the efficacy of pheromone on capturing angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier) was conducted in the laboratory of the Department of Entomology, Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Bangladesh, using rice variety BR11. Pheromone (X-lure) trap was used as a treatment and data were recorded at different days and distances. The experiment was laid out in a Completely...

PHYSIOLOGICAL ECOLOGY Development and Survivorship of Immature Angoumois Grain Moth (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) on Stored Corn

Life history of immature Angoumois grain moths, Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier), was studied on dent corn (Pioneer 3320) at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 C and at 43, 53Ð61, 75Ð76, and 82Ð87% RH under laboratory conditions. At 10 and 40 C, none of the stages survived at any relative humidity. Temperaturewas themain factor affecting egg incubationperiod, larval-pupal development time, and egg an...

Stored Grain - Mycotoxins

Mycotoxins are toxic fungal metabolites that cause intoxication when consumed by animals, including humans. Fungi that produce mycotoxins are called toxigenic fungi. The toxigenic fungi do not produce mycotoxins after they have been ingested by animals and humans. Toxigenic fungi grow in corn, cereals, soybeans, sorghum, peanuts, silage and other food, feed crops or hay in the field, and in gra...

Effect of Salinity Stress on Grain Yield and Grain Quality in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Lines

The effects of salinity stress on grain quality traits of wheat were investigated using 180 lines of F5 generation in two environments (normal and salinity stress). A randomized complete block designs with three replications was used in each of the environments at the Research Farm of the Agricultural and Natural Resources Research Station of Isfahan in 2019-2020 cropping season. Grain yield, p...
