Other claims from this paper (3)
- Intervention effect At 18 h and 30 h of ozone, fewer S. oryzae adults emerged from immature insects placed at 5 cm than at 15 or 25 cm depth.
- Intervention effect Adult S. oryzae mortality at 5 cm depth was significantly higher than at 15 and 25 cm at 2 DAT across all exposure times.
- Recommendation Ozone may be an effective fumigant, but S. oryzae mortality depends on exposure time, depth in the wheat mass and post-treatment time.
