Rice being a major crop of Pakistan contributes major part of our economy and provides energy to a major population. So study was carried out to determine potential of nutritive losses in six rice genotypes against red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) at 28°C, 32°C and 35°C. For nutritive losses, crude protein, fiber, ash and moisture content was analyzed through proximate analysis after 90 days of beetle infestation. Results deduced from the present findings shown significantly (P < 0.05) substantial variations in nutritional composition of rice grains in some advanced rice genotypes when exposed to artificial infestation of red flour beetle. High moisture content was observed in KSK-133 and Basmati-2006 as compared to KSK-282. Loss in crude fat and protein were maximum in KSK-282 and minimum in KSK-133 and Basmati-2006. Crude fiber was significantly (P < 0.05) high where insect infestation was low and least value where maximum infestation caused by insect. Ash content was severely affected by destructive activity of insects in all genotypes. In aggregate qualitative losses were significantly (P < 0.05) high in KSK- 133, Basmati-2006 and Basmati-515 and low in Basmati-385 and KSK-133 proving susceptible and resistance respectability, respectively. Findings should be incorporate in breeding programme and can also be helpful in post-harvest storage.
