Influência das embalagens no controle do gorgulho Callosobruchus analis em feijão de corda, Vigna sinensis

Abstract

Different containers were used for the control of Callosobruchus analis Fabr., in cowpeas (Vigna sinensis Endl). The following deposits were used: cup closed with cloth; cloth bag; closed cans sealed or not with bee wax; bottle closed with cork and polyethylene bag with different thicknesses. The gaseous interchange between container and outside was an important factor in the growth of C. analis Fabr.
