Abstract

Taking into account that chemical treatments are generally pollutant, their use in crop protection is generally accepted, but at the same time is subject to narrow limitations in case of stocks used for human and animal consumption. 
 This paper presents the results of some laboratory tests regarding the resistance of different genotypes - wheat varieties and corn hybrids on the attack of grain weevil (Sitophilus granarius L.) that would help control this pest through ecological methods. Due to the lack of information in the speciality literature worldwide regarding the resistance of stored cereal grains on the attack of grain weevil, we decided to study this aspect thoroughly between 2005-2009, in the Entomology Laboratory at Agricultural Faculty of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca.
