Abstract Rice weevils (Sitophilus oryzae), a major storage pest, cause both qualitative and quantitative losses of stored grains. Normally, chemical insecticide along with fumigation is practiced for the management, but it creates health hazards. So, this study investigates the effects of temperature and duration of exposure on rice weevils. Completely

Effectiveness of botanical preparations for the control of rice weevil (Sitophilus oryzae) during rice seed storage and their impact on the rice seed viability : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Seed Technology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
Food security and the maintenance of seed quality from harvest to planting are key issues for peasant farmers. In Sierra Leone, up to 28% of rice seed can be damaged by rice weevil in the six months storage period.
