Abstract

The khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium (Everts) is one of the most important insect pests of stored products, especially wheat grains, in Iran and some other countries of the world. In this research, effect of various wheat genotypes including Heidari, Aftab, Gaskojen, Kouhdasht, Tirgan, N-91-9, and N-92-19 was studied on biology and two-sex life table parameters of T. granarium under 33 ± 1°C, relative humidity of 65 ± 5%, and a photoperiod of 14:10 (L:D) h. Our results showed that the immature period of T. granarium was the longest on N-91-9, Heidari, and Aftab. The net reproductive rate (R₀) ranged from 9.03 offspring on N-92-19 to 34.13 offspring on Gaskojen. The lowest intrinsic rate of increase (r) was for T. granarium reared on Heidari, Aftab, N-91-9 and N-92-19. The results of this study indicated that Heidari, Aftab, N-92-19 and N-91-9 were unfavorable genotypes for T. granarium development and population increase. These genotypes could be used as one of the sources of resistance in management programs of T. granarium.
