“…1), indicating that infestation of stored products by P. truncatus remains an important threat for processors in these regions of Benin. Vowotor et al (2005) in their study showed the interspeciÞc interaction between P. truncatus and S. zeamais in the stored maize. These two insectsÕ species were sparsely aggregated and not associated with each other.…”

Natural insect infestation in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz subspecies esculenta) and yam (Dioscorea spp.) chips was evaluated during two consecutive storage seasons (2003-2004 and 2004-2005) in two agroecological zones of Benin (Northern Guinea Savanna [NGS] and Sudan Savanna [SS]). The insects infesting chips were collected, identified, and counted, they included Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Coleoptera: Bostrychidae), Cathartus quadricollis (Guerin) (Coleoptera: Silvanidae), Carpophilus dimidiatus (F.) (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae), Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), and Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). P. truncatus and C. quadricollis were observed with a higher prevalence on cassava than on yam chips. During both seasons after 3 mo of storage, all (100%) cassava chip samples were infested with P. truncatus and C. quadricollis in both agroecological zones, whereas yam chips only showed lower infestation rates of 59.5 and 19.1% for P. truncatus and C. quadricollis, respectively, at the end of storage in 2003-2004. During the 2004-2005 season after 3 mo of storage infestation rate in yam chips was 66 and 24% in NGS and 100 and 0% in SS for P. truncatus and C. quadricollis, respectively, showing that insect infestation levels vary significantly with commodity, year, and fluctuate during the storage season.

“…However, the maize crop can experience up to 20-30% loss yearly because farmers often lack effective postharvest storage technologies (Mwololo et al 2010). In rural regions where maize typically is stored in bags or other containers (De Groote et al 2013;Abass et al 2014), these losses are due primarily to 2 internally feeding post-harvest insect pests, Prostephanus truncatus Horn (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) and Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (Vowotor et al 2005;Omondi et al 2009;Tefera et al 2011). In Tanzania, indigenous storage facilities include the traditional kihenge, a raised grass-thatched, mud-plastered hut on stilts (Rugumamu 2003;Makalle 2012).…”
