Other claims from this paper (17)
- Association Protein content increased with insect infestation across treatments except PICS.
- Intervention effect PICS had the least insect infestation.
- Intervention effect PICS had among the lowest insect infestation after 11 months.
- Intervention effect Permethrin-treated maize had among the highest energy levels after 11 months.
- Intervention effect PICS-treated maize had among the highest energy levels after 11 months.
- Intervention effect Botanical-treated maize had high energy similar to Permethrin and PICS treatments.
- Intervention effect Control maize had lower fat content, possibly associated with its high infestation.
- Intervention effect DE-treated maize had lower fat content, possibly because DE absorbed kernel fat.
- Observation Carbohydrate content decreased during storage in all treated maize.
- Observation Control maize showed a decreasing trend in carbohydrate content.
- Observation The Control had the highest Sitophilus zeamais infestation and insect-damaged kernels.
- Intervention effect ZeroFly increased maize ash content.
- Observation Maize ash content was unchanged with Botanical, Control and PICS treatments.
- Intervention effect DE-treated maize had decreased ash content.
- Intervention effect Permethrin-treated maize had decreased ash content.
- Observation Measured nutritional variables were within or close to known maize ranges.
- Observation Insect populations were relatively low across treatments from February through September.
