Relative susceptibility and deterioration of some selected maize (Zea mays) varieties to infestation by Sitophilus oryzae (Linn)

Appiah, S.O.
The relative susceptibility and deterioration of four maize varieties, Composite 4, La Posta, Golden Crystal, and a local, to attack by the rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae in a laboratory experiment are reported. La Posta was the most resistant variety in terms of % damaged kernels, viability of grains, least population increase of weevils, grain weight loss, fat acidity production and moisture after a 12-week infestation period. These factors were greatest for grains with the highest initial moisture content
