Food preference of oryzaephilus surinamensis (coleoptera: silvanidae) to different types of plant products
Oryzaephilus surinamensis is one of the stored product insect that commonly found in Malaysia. The biological study through host range or food preferences of O. surinamensis is important for the development of sustainable management practice to control its infestation.
