Insect population distribution and density estimates in a large rice mill in Portugal – a pilot study

Carvalho, Maria Otília; Faro, Alexandra; Subramanyam, Bhadriraju (2013-08-26)

The objectives of this study were to characterize the spatial distribution of the most abundant insect species identified in the rice plant, optimize the sampling program, develop and validate a fixed-precision enumerative ...
Models to predict mortality of Tribolium castaneum (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) exposed to elevated temperatures during structural heat treatments

Jian, Fuji; Subramanyam, Bhadriraju; Jayas, Digvir S.; White, Noel D. G. (2014-02-28)

Novel thermal death models were developed with certain assumptions, and these models were validated by using actual heat treatment data collected under laboratory conditions at constant temperatures over time and in ...
Susceptibility of Tribolium castaneum life stages exposed to elevated temperatures during heat treatments of a pilot flour mill: influence of sanitation, temperatures attained among mills floors, and costs

Brijwani, Monika; Subramanyam, Bhadriraju; Flinn, Paul W.; Langemeier, Michael R.; Hartzer, Michelle; Hulasare, Rajshekhar (2012-06-11)

The influence of sanitation on responses of life stages of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), was investigated in a pilot flour mill subjected to three, 24-h heat treatments by ...
