Six strains of adult Sitophilus ~ru~narircs and one each of Tr'rQnEbm confusum and OryeaephiLus sarinam.enszs were fumigated with ethylene dihromide and ethylene dichloride ro evaluate a small chamber fumigation technique as a means of cs~blishing stisccptihility levels. The influence of external factors, including the etiect ai i n m t diet before and after fumigation, on the cornparative mortalities was also investigated. 'l'he suitahility of this technique lor detecting and comparing sttsfcpti bility dincrcnces was indicated.The I.Di0 values of a strain fumigated on different days varied as much as 400/G, whereas t h e ratios o l a standard and trrt strain fumigated on the same day varied less than 6% on different days.The natural mortality of S. granarius fed 10% sugar solution was less than that of those fed wheat grains. Sugar solution fed before exposure made the weevils more susceptible but when it was fed during the postexposure period it increased the observed LDso by 60%.
