Description
Wheat was one of the first domesticated food crops used worldwide as a diet. Insect infestation is the foremost problem encountered during storage of wheat. The object of this work was to examine the insect infestation in control and irradiated wheat flour over storage at different habitats. 60Co source gamma chamber was used to irradiate wheat flour at various doses (0.25 kGy, 0.5 kGy, 1 kGy, 5 kGy and 10 kGy)
