Abstract

Stored wheat that was infested by each of 3 species of mites, Lepidoglyphus destructor (Schrank), Acarus farris (Oudemans), and Aëroglyphus robustus Banks, was studied to determine the effects of mites on the quality of wheat. L. destructor infestation of the grain led to significantly lower fat acidity values (P<0.01) and significantly slower loss of seed germination (P<0.05) than in the noninfested wheat. Seed moisture content, infection by fungi (Aspergillus candidus Link and Alternaria alternate (Fr.) Keissler) and bacteria, and the electrical conductivity of wheat-steeped water were unaffected by the presence of the mites.
