Abstract

The study conducted to find out the degree of nutritional preference for Oryzaephilus surinamensis , On three types of dates, which are brim, ascetic, and defecation, in addition to the role of micro-rays in controlling the larval and full phase of the Saw-grain beetle, As the results showed that the best type of dates is the ascetic seed, as the number of insect fed to it reached 121 adults and 30 larvae, while the lowest number of insects in the brim was 8 insects. As for the role of micro-rays, in which the insect was exposed to the larval and complete stage for 20, 40, 60 seconds, and the highest killing rate in larvae and adults was 100% at the exposure period of 60 seconds, while it was 80% at the exposure period of 20 seconds in the adults and 90% in the larvae.
