After 2 weeks, mortality of rice weevils
exposed to whole pea flour was significantly increased compared to
that of controls’ (Fig. 1). |
 |
A slight but not significant increase in
mortality was noted in the red flour beetle exposed to whole pea
flour, compared to controls after four weeks (Fig.
2). |
 |
Mortality of red flour beetle exposed to
flours of testas and cotyledons was slightly, but not significantly,
greater than that of controls’. (Table 1). |
 |
Kernels of wheat had been eaten through
by the beetles. |
 |
When I counted the red flour beetles, I
found that some had been cannibalized. |
