The 2023 study from the Agricultural University Peshawar’s PBG Laboratory explored the effects of three wheat varieties—Abaseen-2021, Zarghoon-21, and Taskeen-2022—on the biological behavior of the Angoumois grain moth Sitotroga cerealella. Key metrics included progeny development, adult weight, emergence timing, and longevity under "No-Choice" and "Free-Choice" ovarian selection. Abaseen-2021 showed the highest support for moth development, with maximum progeny, weight, and longevity, especially under No-Choice conditions. Taskeen-2022, however, showed the least support for pest proliferation. The results underscore the importance of wheat variety in pest management strategies.Downloads
