Table 1 Mean survival rate of adult A. fasciculatus in four-food media

From: Susceptibility of processed and stored cassava, plantain, yam, and cocoyam to coffee bean weevil (Araecerus fasciculatus De Geer)

Food media	Survival rate
Food media	% Dead Insect	% Live Insect
Cassava	20.0 ± 0.58a	80.0 ± 0.58c
Cocoyam	76.7 ± 1.45c	23.3 ± 1.45a
Plantain	63.3 ± 0.33ab	36.7 ± 0.33b
Yam	66.7 ± 1.45bc	23.3 ± 0.88ab

Each data represents the mean ± 2σ of the three replicates. Mean followed by the same letter in the same column are not significantly different (p > 0.05) from each other by the new Duncan’s multiple range test
