Effects of Simultaneous Sitophilus zeamais and Prostephanus truncatus During Storage of Maize in Hermetic and Non‐Hermetic Conditions

Cereal Chemistry, Volume 103, Issue 4, Page 465-472, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Sitophilus zeamais (Mostschulsky), the maize weevil, and Prostephanus truncatus (Horn), the larger grain borer, are two notorious insect pests of farm‐stored products in Sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA). The goal of this study was to determine whether there were interactions between P. truncatus and S. zeamais during storage.
