Ohio State University entomologist T H Parks warns October poses highest weevil damage risk to stored grain and predicts 10 to 20 million dollars in losses before the next harvest. Athens County wheat was often damp at threshing, said Ross Wright, and damp grain invites weevil infestation. He recommends fumigation with carbon bisulphide when temperatures are 65 F plus and little wind, with shelled beans and corn treated similarly.
