Abstract

Assessment of damage by Corcyra cephalonica on millet sorghum milled and rough rice at four moisture contents was determined using the count and weigh method. The parameters determined were percentage of damaged kernels dry weight loss and dry weight of frass and webbings. The percent survival and the average development period of 12+12-hr-old larvae to adult were also determined. The four moisture contents used in this study did not influence the percent of damaged kernels dry weight loss or the dry weight of frass and webbings. Rough rice was the least damaged of all the four grains
