“Sitophilus granarius susceptibility ranking by life stage (adults most susceptible, eggs most resistant) under modified-atmosphere CO2/N2 is standard stored-product entomology and supports non-chemical post-harvest IPM.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Adults of S. granarius are documented as the most susceptible stage to high-CO2/low-O2 atmospheres while eggs and pupae are most tolerant — consistent with Bell, Annis, Navarro reviews.”
