Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Adult emergence of Sitophilus oryzae was highest in unhusked rice, ahead of maize, barley, wheat and husked rice.
- Observation Basmati variety PB-1509 showed moderate resistance with susceptibility index 4.81 compared with other varieties.
- Association Susceptibility index correlated positively with growth index (r = 0.968).
- Association Susceptibility index correlated positively with grain weight loss (r = 0.945).
- Association Susceptibility index correlated positively with grain damage (r=0.841).
- Association Susceptibility index correlated negatively with median developmental time (r = − 0.696).
- Mechanism Resistance mechanisms can prolong pest development, reduce generations and limit damage.
- Recommendation Resistance traits should be incorporated into breeding to improve Basmati storage stability and reduce losses.
