Effects of Rice Varieties on Attractiveness, Population Development, and Weight Loss Caused by Sitophilus oryzae During Storage

Dicky Marsadi, Ketut Ayu Yuliadhi

Abstract


Sitophilus oryzae is one of the main pests that attack rice and cause quantitative and qualitative losses during storage. This study aims to analyze the effect of several rice varieties on attractiveness, population development, and weight loss of rice due to S. oryzae infestation. The study was conducted using a free choice test to measure attractiveness, population development observation, and weight loss measurement on four rice varieties, namely red rice, white rice, black rice, and brown rice. The results showed that brown rice had the highest palatability and the highest population growth rate, black rice was the second best, followed by husked rice. In contrast, white rice had the lowest palatability, population growth rate, and weight loss. The pattern of rice weight loss was consistent with the pest population level, where varieties with higher S. oryzae populations experienced a greater percentage of weight loss. The differences in S. oryzae response between rice varieties are thought to be related to the physical and chemical characteristics of the rice varieties, including nutrient content and grain structure, which affect pest preference and development success. This study shows that rice varieties have the potential to be used as an essential component in post-harvest pest management strategies, particularly in efforts to reduce losses during storage through the selection of varieties that are relatively more resistant to S. oryzae infestation and the use of rice varieties to develop attractants for trapping S. oryzae.

Keywords: pest attractiveness; pest population; rice varieties; Sitophilus oryzae; weight loss.
