Abstract

Larvae of Trogoderma''granarium were able to survive on a large range of materials. Processed foods, such as flour, corn meal, etc. were preferred. Sorghum seed, barley and shelled peanuts were the favored unprocessed foods. Size and fecundity of the beetle was directly proportional to the suitability of the food.
