New Slant Turns Up For Grain Protection New research indicates it may be possible to develop wheat varieties able to with stand attack by stored grain insects. An Agricultural Research Service entomologist in a stud', of 15 wheat varieties found they differed considerably in their resistance to one such pest the rice weevil If the characteristics that make some wheats less attrac tive to the weevil can be identi fled, plant breeders may find ways of intensifying these traits in future wheat varieties Up to now, breeding for re sistance to stored gram insects has not been attempted Wheats have been developed, however, that resist attack in the field by some insects.
