The percentage of infestation of the substrates with S. cerealella Ol. and the percentage of parasitation eggs of T. pintoi Voeg. and T. evanescens Westw., in the variants with thermal processing is higher, than in the control. The values of the barley infestation percentage and the parasitic percentage of T. pintoi and T. evanescens obtained on eggs of the barley substrate is slightly higher than on wheat, maize and triticale.
