Dynamic profiling of volatile organic compounds in IR64 rice infested with Sitophilus oryzae (Linnaeus): An exploratory HS-SPME-GC-MS study for initial biomarker screening
This study examines the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) as potential indicators of the presence of rice weevils, Sitophilus oryzae (Linnaeus), in IR64 rice grains. Conventional detection methods have limitations because pest infestation is detected after signs of pest damage have appeared. Meanwhile, identification o...
