Comparison Population of Rhyzopertha dominica (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) and Damage Cereals During Storage Period

Storage of cereal is a section the stage post-harvest and helpful for maintaining food availability against crop failures natural disasters. The losses yield commodity happened at storage caused by Rhyzopertha dominica . This study aimed to determine comparison population R. damage rice sorghum based on period. types cereals used are sorghum. research was arranged in completely randomized design (CRD) with treatment periods consisting five levels 40, 60, 80, 100, 120 days. Observation parameters included as well increased moisture content Data obtained from observations were analyzed using analysis variance. results showed that more than period days could increase dominica, Knowledge give information so not stored long time
