Laboratory experiment evaluated feeding preference and reproductive fitness in various cereal grains, indicating wheat's dominance.

Wheat demonstrated the highest reproductive fitness in ovipositional preference and feeding choice tests.
In the no-choice test, Rhyzopertha dominica laid 75.50 eggs on wheat, indicating significant preference.
After 90 days, wheat showed 41.25% grain damage, making it the most susceptible cereal grain.
Rice and barley followed wheat in both reproductive fitness and comparative storage losses.

Chander et al. (2025) studied this question.
