Current research on bruchids in Uganda

Zabrotes subfasciatus and Acanthoscelides obtetus are widely distributed in Uganda. A. obtectus is the predominant species in the cooler zones, while Z. subfasciatus is predominant in warmer areas. The former species is more common in grain warehouses while the latter is more common in on-farm stora...

description Zabrotes subfasciatus and Acanthoscelides obtetus are widely distributed in Uganda. A. obtectus is the predominant species in the cooler zones, while Z. subfasciatus is predominant in warmer areas. The former species is more common in grain warehouses while the latter is more common in on-farm storage. Examining the four bean lines EMP 175, K 20, White Haricot, and RAZ 2 in storage trials, it was found that RAZ 2 was resistant to Zabrotes. The remaining lines were susceptible. RAZ 2 contains arcelin, a seed protein, which confers resistance to Zabrotes. Results on farmers' perceptions, practices, and control of bruchids remains to be studied. Research on the efficiency of solar heat disinfestation of bruchids has been initiated. (AS)

(AS) Los bruquidos Zabrotes subfasciatus y Acanthoscelides obtectus se encuentran ampliamente distribuidos en Uganda. A. obtectus predomina en las areas mas frescas y es mas comun en las bodegas de granos, mientras que Z. subfasciatus predomina en las areas mas calidas y se encuentra comunmente en almacenamiento a nivel de finca. De las 4 lineas de frijol estudiadas (EMP 175, K 20, White Haricot y RAZ 2) en ensayos de almacenamiento, RAZ 2 fue la unica resistente a Zabrotes; las demas fueron susceptibles. La linea RAZ 2 tiene arcelina, una proteina de la semilla que le confiere resistencia a Zabrotes. Quedan pendientes de estudio los resultados de las percepciones de los agricultores, las practicas y el control de bruquidos. Se iniciaron investigaciones en la eficiencia de la desinfestacion de bruquidos mediante calor solar.
