wheat grain, storage, weevil, attack grade, new varieties
Stored cereal products suffer year after year from the attack of various insects, mainly due to the short period in which the grains are used. Instead, by delaying grain utilization, and especially in winter wheat, storage pests follow their biological cycle. This is also the case with the Sitophilus weevil whose attack causes a high level of damage every year. In this experiment, two series of batches of three varieties of winter wheat were analyzed. From the data obtained, it was found the existence of significant differences depending on the analyzed factor, namely, distinctly significant in the case of the group of varieties formed by Trivale, Ursita and Linia A4-10, significant in the variety FLD Caro, FDL Concurent, Șimnic 1619. At the same time, a significant connection was found between the first group of varieties with the four lots analyzed and insignificant in the case of the second group of winter wheat varieties
