Use of some biological control agents for controlling the angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier) (Lepidotera: Gelechiidae) on wheat and maize grains
Abstract: The effect of direct treatments of wheat and maize grains with T. evanescms (inside or outside bags), Biover and Protecto on insect population and percentage weight loss of stored grains due to infestation with the angoumois grain moth, S. cerealella was studied.
Results showed that percentage weight loss of both wheat and maize grains was positively correlated with insect population and storage period. Insect population and percentage weight loss of both wheat and maize grains were significantly reduced in treated grains during storage period extended to 12 months in comparison with untreated grains. The results indicated that there was no effect of the tested materials on the percentage of the grain germination. Data showed that there is positive significance in biochemical components (total lipids, carbohydrates and total proteins) of grain content compared with untreated control.
