Abstract

Laboratory studies in India showed delayed mortality in the stored products pest Sitophilus oryzae following treatment with the fumigants chloropicrin, ethylene oxide, methyl bromide, methyl iodide and trichloroethylene and in T. castaneum following treatment with ethylene oxide and in both species following treatment with acrylonitrile and carbon dioxide. Ethylene dibromide caused the maximum delayed mortality. No delayed mortality was observed following treatment of either of the species with carbon tetrachloride, phosphine or trichloroethylene.
