Abstract

                                Depth of infestation by the Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella (ver) into the different layers of both resistant and susceptible varieties of paddy, sorghum and cumbu was studied in laboratory using mylar film cylinders.

Depth of infestation was more in susceptible varieties of paddy (10 cm), sorghum (7 cm) and cumbu (5 cm), which was 3 cm, 2 cm and 1 cm more than that was observed in the resistant variety of respective grains.

Key words : Angoumois Grain Moth, Sitotroga cerealella, Paddy, Sorghum, Cumbu, Depth of Infestation.
