Based on pheromone trap catches, a model of weekly Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) flight activity was generated for southern Benin. Using response surface regression, the following environmental variables were examined: number of rainy days per week, precipitation, minimum and maximum temperatures...

Sensitivity of Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) (Coleoptera:Bostrichidae) flight activity to environmental variables in Benin, West Africa
A fungal entomopathogen, Beauveria bassiana, was used to treat maize ears placed in traditional grain stores against Prostephanus truncatus in a field experiment conducted from September 1997 to March 1998 in the Benin Republic, West Africa. Treatments included oil-based spray with and without co...

. A distributed-delay, demographic simulation model of Prostephanus tnmcatus (Horn) populations in rural maize (Zea mays L.) stores was developed and validated. Developmental and mortality parameters for eggs, larvae, and pupae, and the life span and fecundity data for adult insects, were estimat...
