Abstract:Dates are one of the products that are attacked at postharvest by some insect pests' in packinghouses or storages. Plodia interpunctella Hubner (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) has become one of the major date fruits pests during the post-harvest storage, causing signi cant losses. In this study, the nutritional performances and digestive enzyme activities of P. interpunctella larvae fed on different date fruits including Dayri, Estemaran, Fersi, Halavi and Zahedi varieties were evaluated. Moreover, date fruits were a… Show more
