What is RF Heating Effects on Grain Pest Mortality about?

This study investigates the effectiveness of radio frequency (RF) heating in killing the stored grain pest Rhizopertha dominica and its impact on grain quality. The results show that RF heating at 58°C achieves 100% mortality of the pest across different grain types, with varying heating times influenced by grain type and moisture content. Importantly, RF treatment does not significantly affect the milling, storage, or seed quality of rice, suggesting its potential as a non-toxic pest control method.
