Hello steemians welcome to my blog, and my own review of today theme
LIFE-CYCLE:
The Grain weevil can just breed in grain with a dampness substance of over 9.5% and at temperatures inside the range 13-35°C. The female lays around 200 eggs at a rate of 2-3 every day relying on temperature and stickiness, putting every one of every a little gap exhausted in the grain and fixing it in with an adhesive fitting of salivation.
At 18-20°C the eggs incubate in 8-11 days to give little, white, legless hatchlings which feed on the endosperm of the grain. Just a single hatchling creates in little grains, for example, wheat and rice yet extensive grains, for example, maize will bolster the advancement of a few. Hatchlings are never freeliving and grow totally inside the grain.
They shed four times, at long last pupating inside the grain following 6 two months. The grown-ups rise following a further 5-16 days and will live for around 9 months. On the off chance that irritated they will fake demise by attracting their legs up to their bodies staying still. At 15°C and a grain dampness substance of 11.3% the full life-cycle takes a half year. The life-cycles of the Rice and Maize weevils take after a comparative course to that of the Grain weevil.
CONTROL:
Evaluation of pervasions
An assortment of catching procedures are accessible for estimating put away item creepy crawly pervasions. These incorporate pit fall traps, snare packs, bug test traps and glue traps. Whatever framework is utilized satisfactory records must be kept.
Cleanliness/administration
Stores ought to be soundly built to guarantee support of right stockpiling conditions and consider simple cleaning. They ought to be protected, all around ventilated and soggy verification. Breaks and hole, which may give harbourages to the scarabs, ought to be kept to a base.
Products ought to be stacked conveniently over the floor level utilizing beds, far from dividers and ought not contact the roof. A hole between stacks will take into account ventilation, standard investigation, cleaning and, if important, treatment with bug sprays (see suggested items). Proper stock revolution is essential and if conceivable there ought to be a restricted entry of wares through the premises. The cautious decision of bundling can dissuade creepy crawly assault.
For the most part, thick, extreme materials with a smooth, glossy complete are favored. Packs ought to be solid and all around fixed. It is critical to guarantee that there are no nourishment buildups (put away products or auxiliary sources, e.g. winged creatures' homes) in which bugs can breed and create to pervade new materials.

All pervaded wares ought to be decimated or treated. Stores ought to be kept carefully perfect and homestead stores ought to be altogether cleaned before collect. All grain taken into store ought to be dried to an appropriate dampness content (MC) and temperature e.g. <15%MC and <15°C and kept up in that condition.
Insecticidal control:
Bug sprays (see prescribed items) can be connected to the texture of stores focusing on potential creepy crawly harbourages. On the other hand it might be fitting to utilize grain protectants.
