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
