Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Simultaneous presence of the two pests did not affect progeny production.
- Association Adult emergence depended more on sorghum variety.
- Intervention effect Frass was higher with R. dominica alone than S. oryzae alone.
- Association Damage indicators were not consistently related to progeny production.
- Observation Both pests produced the most frass on Sumac.
- Observation Both pests produced the least frass on PE.
- Observation With both pest species together, frass was greatest on Non-Waxy Burgundy and Sumac.
- Recommendation The authors suggest using varietal resistance to reduce postharvest infestations.
