Subsamples were collected every 4 weeks (up to 28 post grain protectant application) and infested with 10 adults of either <i>R. dominica</i> or <i>S. oryzae.</i> The initial adult mortality was assessed 7 d post-exposure to the treated grain. After adult mortality was determined, the sorghum was held for 8 weeks and adult progeny were counted. Additionally the amount of frass and insect damaged kernels were also evaluated. </p>", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/57981973", "format": "xlsx", "mediaType": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet", "title": "Insect Infestation Results.xlsx"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/59738132", "format": "xlsx", "mediaType": "application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet", "title": "Temp and RH Data.xlsx"}], "identifier": "10.15482/USDA.ADC/30132415.v1", "keyword": ["grain protectants", "integrated pest managment", "long-term efficacy", "postharvest storage", "sorghum", "stored product pests"], "license": "https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/", "modified": "2026-03-06", "programCode": ["005:040"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Agricultural Research Service"}, "temporal": "2023-05-02/2023-11-26", "title": "Data from: Evaluating the Long-Term Efficacy of Four Active Ingredients against <i>Rhyzopertha dominica </i>(F.)
