| Abstract | ||
| High temperatures were tested as a means of controlling all stages of Sitophilus granarius L. in wheat and Calfosobruchus maculatus F. in cowpea. Complete control of all immature stages of S. granariuos was chieved by exposing infested wheat to 70°C for 20 minutes. Complete kill for the adult stage occurred at 50°C for 15 minutes. In case of C. maculatus, eggs, larvae, pupae and adults were killed at 65°C for 20 minutes, 70°C for 20 minutes, 70°C for 15 minutes and 55°C for 20 minutes, respectively. | ||
