ABSTRACT:
Stored dried cassava chips are known to become heavily damaged by Prostephanus truncatus (Hum). A laboratory study was undertaken to determine the extent of losses that this insect pest could cause on TME 30572, the mean weight loss (±SD) rose to 36.93 ± 24.43'% over the period of 112 days compared with 63.2 ± 3.37% for TME I, under the same period and experimental condition, At each time interval of 28 days during which the cassava dried chips were examined, the weight loss in both varieties was on the increase, except, the 112 days where their was a drop in the weight loss in TME 30275 variety which was statistically significantly (t=0.033, P
