Effect Of Sitophilus Zeamais (Motsch.) Infestation On Protein Contents Of Stored Grains Of Quality Protein Maize Varieties
📄 Project Abstract
The effect of Sitophilus zeamais infestation was evaluated on 10 maize varieties, comprising nine Quality Protein Maize (QPM) varieties (SAMMAZ 14, SAMMAZ 17, SAMMAZ 19, SAMMAZ 32, SAMMAZ 33, SAMMAZ 36, SAMMAZ 37, FLINT-Q and DENT-Q) and one non-QPM variety (SAMMAZ 20) which served as check. The experiment was conducted during two seasons; cold-dry and wet seasons (October - December, 2012 and June - August, 2013) respectively. The maize varieties were infested with ten pairs of newly emerged S. zeamais in seperate kilner jars containing 100 g of each maize variety. The number of F1 and F2 progeny, percentage damage, percentage weight loss, percentage germination and effect of kernel hardness were evaluated for each maize variety. The essential amino acid (tryptophan) and the protein contents of the maize varieties were determined before and after infestation with S. zeamais to determine the amount of losses incurred as a result of feeding by S. zeamais. The result from combined analys...
