The material for the investigations was composed of grain of four barley varieties: Brenda, Krona, Maresi, Rasbet; barley malt, and nutlets of three varieties of buckwheat: Hruszowska, Emka and Kora. The reference material comprised wheat grain of the commercial variety Almari. The results showed that the development of T granarium larvae on barley grain and malt took longer than on wheat grain. The authors observed that buckwheat nutlets were comparable to barley kernels as a food for the development of the pest. The pest showed more feeding preferences to buckwheat products, grits and meal to barley grain.}, type={Article}, title={Feeding of the khapra beetle on barley, malt and buckwheat nut lets}, URL={http://www.journals.pan.pl/Content/131171/PDF-MASTER/5_PLANT_41_3_2001_Poplawska_Feeding.pdf}, keywords={khapra beetle, food, infestation, buckwheat, barley}, }
