Observational analysis assessed grain damage in stored wheat by three pests, indicating species-specific impacts.

Sitophilus oryzae caused the most damage in stored wheat, resulting in 21.33 damaged grains after 35 days.
After 35 days, S. oryzae had the highest survival rate at 16.67 live insects, compared to its counterparts.
Regression analysis showed a strong relationship between the number of S. oryzae and weight loss, with R² = 0.57.
These findings suggest targeted post-harvest pest management strategies for different wheat storage pests.

Jamshed et al. (2025) studied this question.
