And the system architecture, hardware configuration, and software were introduced in detail. Considering bandwidth limitation of wireless sensor networks, random sampling algorithm based on the compressed sensing theory was proposed. The developed acoustic signal acquisition system was applied in sampling the crawl acoustic signal of Tribolinm castaneum Herbst adults in granary. Preliminary experimentation indicated the rationality and practicability of the developed system and the proposed algorithm. They can implement the remote, real-time, and reliable wireless transmission for the acoustic signal sampled data of multiple points stored grain pests effectively.展开更多

It was conducted at Department of Crop Protection Laboratory,University of Ilorin, Nigeria at ambient temperature of 28±2℃ and 68%±3% relative humidity. Samples of the varieties were infestedwith five pairs of S. zeamais adults in their respective containers arranged in completely randomized design with three replications.Data were collected on moisture content, adult mortality, adult emergence, grain loss and grain damage. The index of susceptibilityand means of damage parameters were used to determine susceptibility of the maize varieties. The results showed that 2008 SYNEE W DT STR was highly resistant and 2004 TZE-W POP STR C4 was moderately resistant, while 2004 TZE-Y-POP STR C4,99 TZEE-Y-STR, EV99 QPM and TZE-Y-POP DT STR QPM C_0S1 were susceptible. Under artificial infestation, the weevils hadsignificantly longer survival period in the susceptible varieties than those in the resistant genotype. It could be concluded that thesusceptible varieties already released to farmers should be protected from maize weevil damage.展开更多
