“…Although studies have been done with the development of O. surinamensis on different cracked and whole commodities and flours (Nika et al 2020, Hashem et al 2021), to our knowledge this is the first report of O. surinamensis on sorghum milling fractions. In previous recent studies with stored product insects, developmental times also varied with insect species, temperature, and the specific milled fraction (Arthur et al 2020, Lampiri et al 2021). For example, Lampiri et al (2021) found that sorghum Shorts gave the first adult emergence of the khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) at all temperatures tested and completed adult emergence earlier than other, but not all, fractions.…”

“…These fractions were milled from whole sorghum by the Department of Grain Science and Industry, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS, and provided to the CGAHR for previous studies with sorghum fractions and stored product insects. Zhao and Ambrose (2018), Arthur et al (2020), and Lampiri et al (2021) provide in-depth information on the nutrients and particle size of different sorghum milling fractions used in the experiment. Whole Oat flakes were also used in the experiment, which were considered as a control commodity because they were considered highly suitable for the development of O. surinamensis (Nika et al 2020).…”

Developmental ability of Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.) (Coleoptera: Silvanidae) was examined on six different sorghum milling fractions: Bran, Shorts, Cgrits, Fgrits, Red dogs, Flour, and also on a standard diet of Oat Flakes. For this purpose, a 1-day-old egg was placed in a vial containing 1 g of one of the sorghum fractions and exposed to three temperatures: 25, 30, or 32°C. All vials were checked daily for pupal and adult emergence and mortality of immatures. The developmental time was significantly affected by the type of sorghum fraction. After two weeks, for most of the temperatures examined, the longest developmental times in most cases for both pupation and adult emergence were observed in Flour and Oat flakes. Increasing the temperature from 25 to 30 accelerated the development, while adult emergence time did not differ between 30 and 32°C for all fractions except Flour. Egg mortality ranged from 11 to 78%, while larval and pupal mortality ranged from 0 to 22 and 0 to 45%, respectively for all sorghum fractions and different temperatures tested. Moreover, the mean overall immature mortality occurred at 30°C was 49.2, 39.7, and 65.1% at 25, 30, and 32°C for all the diets examined. The findings of the present work show that O. surinamensis can develop and survive in sorghum milling fractions and that the optimal temperatures for growth enhancement are 30 and 32°C. The temperatures within sorghum milling facilities could support O. surinamensis development on milling fractions if they are not addressed through phytosanitary measures.

“…However, testing is warranted for additional pest species, such as Sitophilus spp., that are common pests of stored products. Also, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), the red flour beetle, can complete development on brown rice at temperatures ranging from 20 to 35 °C [14]. This insect pest is cosmopolitan in distribution, has a wide range of food habits, and is a frequent pest of rice mills [15,16,17,18].…”

Rhyzopertha dominica (Fab.), the lesser grain borer, and Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier), the Angoumois grain moth, are internally feeding stored product insects that can infest raw grains. In this test, brown rice was treated with 0.5 and 1.0 ppm of a new emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation of the pyrethroid deltamethrin and stored for 12 months. One day after treatment, and every 3 months for 12 months, treated rice was mixed with untreated brown rice in the following ratios: 0:100 (untreated controls), 10:90, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, and 100:0 (all treated). Bioassays were conducted by exposing 10 parental adults of each species on the rice mixtures and assessing progeny production, feeding damage, and weight loss. The progeny of S. cerealella ranged from 105.6 F1 adults on untreated brown rice to 69.4 F1 adults on 100% treated rice, but there was little feeding damage or weight loss. The progeny production of R. dominica declined from 177.4 F1 adults on untreated rice to 9.8 F1 adults on 100% treated rice. Weight loss and feeding damage were correlated with progeny production. The results show that the new deltamethrin formulation could be used for protection of brown rice, but S. cerealella may be less susceptible to deltamethrin compared to R. dominica.

“…Stored product insects typically are reported to be associated with a wide variety of postharvest products (Hagstrum and Subramanyam 2009). The reproductive success and population growth of these insects has been shown experimentally and modeled on a variety of diets (Namin et al 2019, Vukajlović et al 2019, Arthur et al 2020, Astuti et al 2020, Gerken and Campbell 2020, Kurtuluş et al 2020). Often, when given diets with a no-choice format (the only diet available), females will oviposit regardless of the suitability of the diet (Gerken et al 2020, Rumbos et al 2020, Awadalla et al 2021).…”

“…T. castaneum is one of the most important pests of wheat flour and has also been used to explore questions of infestation risk in alternative flours, as well as to understand nutritional components associated with highest success rates of population growth (Sokoloff et al 1966, Wong and Lee 2001, Arthur et al 2020, Gerken and Campbell 2020, Naseri and Majd-Marani 2022). As a secondary pest of stored products, T. castaneum is cosmopolitan (Good 1936) and can result in food contamination and secondary damage via quinones and frass deposition (El-Mofty et al 1989, El-Mofty et al 1992, Hubert et al 2018).…”

The increasing popularity of low- and no-gluten flours as wheat flour alternatives has driven the need to understand risks of insect pest infestation in these products. Previous research using no-choice bioassays found that the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum Herbst can oviposit and develop on a range of alternative flours; here we test T. castaneum preference by assessing attraction in a wind tunnel assay and oviposition preference in both small- and large-scale choice assays between alternative and wheat flour. Some flours such as buckwheat, teff, millet, rice, and rye elicit similar responses as wheat flour for both attraction and oviposition. Other flours such as cassava and oat were not preferred for either oviposition or attraction behaviors. Flours like sorghum and amaranth, had mixed preferences for oviposition, with decreased oviposition in the small arena but not the large arena. Comparisons to published developmental success rates of T. castnaeum on these dietsindicate that females can choose diets on which they have high developmental success, such as buckwheat or teff, and avoid flours like cassava where developmental success is low. However, mismatch of oviposition preference and developmental success also occurs, in flours such as rice and amaranth. These results suggest the red flour beetle has limited ability to make adaptive food selections for egg laying. Further analysis of the chemical and physical properties associated with preferred and nonpreferred flours can provide information on cues associated with egg laying as well as how these cues could be exploited in pest management programs.
