“…The lesser grain borer, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), an internal primary insect pest of stored products, has a high capacity for locating on grain foods including wheat, barley, maize, rice, and sorghum [ 1 , 2 ]. The insect readily infests storage grains and can cause economic losses throughout much of the world due to its high potential viability and adaptability [ 3 , 4 , 5 ].…”
