Laboratory experiments using whole cobs were conducted to examine the effect of varying densities of the larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus and the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais on rate of population increase by the histerid beetle, Teretriosoma nigrescens, a predator primarily of P. t...

Studies on predation of Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Col., Bostrichidae) and Sitophilus zeamais Mots. (Col., Curculionidae) at different densities on maize by Teretriosoma nigrescens Lewis (Col., Histeridae)
Investigations were carried out in southern Benin on the annual flight cycle and the effects of weather variables on the flight activity of Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) and its natural enemy, Teretriosoma nigrescens Lewis. Two seasonal peaks in flight activity of P. truncatus were observed, one ...

Seasonal meteorological factors influencing the annual flight cycle ofProstephanus truncatus (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) and its predator Teretriosoma nigrescens (Coleoptera:Histeridae) in Benin
Studies were carried out between 1992 and 1997 in southwestern Benin to investigate the establishment, spread, and impact of Teretriosoma nigrescens Lewis, a natural enemy of the larger grain borer, Prostephanus truncatus (Horn). Trap data, using the 2-component synthetic aggregation pheromone of...
