- Abstract
The article presents a study on phosphine resistance, respiration rate, and fitness consequences in stored-product insects. It is forwarded that resistance to fumigants has been reported in insect pests of stored products and is one of the hindrances in controlling these pests. In this study, the authors examined phosphine resistance and its physiological basis in adult insects for 12 populations of Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Tenebrionidae), eight populations of Oryzaephilus surinamensis L. (Silvanidae), and ten populations of Rhyzopertha dominica (F.) (Bostrichidae) in Brazil.
