Distribution and sampling of Prostephanus truncatus (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) and Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in maize stores in Benin
The distribution among and within grain stores of 2 grain store pests, Prostephanus Truncatus (Horn) and Sitophilus zeamais Motschulsky were examined over time using different maize cultivars. Incidence in stores was variable between seasons for both species. The b coefficient of Taylor's power law...
