Other claims from this paper (6)
- Association Live insect populations correlated positively with grain damage, powder weight and seed weight loss.
- Observation S. zeamais dominated early storage populations, then P. truncatus outnumbered it after 60 days.
- Observation P. truncatus caused 58% maize grain damage after 60 days in non-hermetic storage.
- Observation Mixed pest treatments caused 54% grain damage after 60 days in non-hermetic storage.
- Observation Powder production ranged from 0 to 30 g per 250-g of maize.
- Observation Coexisting P. truncatus caused more severe maize damage than S. zeamais alone in non-hermetic storage.
