title: Identification of chemical oviposition stimulants from rice grain forSitophilus zeamais motschulsky (Coleoptera, Curculionidae).
abstract: Chemical components stimulating oviposition bySitophilus zeamais in rice grain were isolated from rice bran and were found to be a mixture of ferulates, diglycerides, and free sterols. Oviposition preference of the species can be induced by synergistic action of these compounds.
