Feeding and Mortality of Sitophilus granarius (L.) Adults During Simulated Winter Farm Bin Temperatures 1

Abstract
After gradual cold-temperature acclimation, granary weevils, Sitophilus granarius (L.) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), fed on cut wheat kernels, but not on undamaged kernels, at 4.4°C. Mortality was greater for weevils confined with single, uncut kernels than for those confined with cut kernels, and males died sooner than females.
