Table S2. Frequency of DNA detection at different insect densities present in stored wheat flour.
| Insect equivalents as adults | N(T. castaneum beetle)/(m(wheat flour)/g) | Ct value |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 10/5 | 16.8±.02 |
| 1 | 1/5 | 22.73±0.23 |
| 0.1 | 1/50 | 26.95±0.17 |
| 0.01 | Corresponds to 1/500 | 27.87±0.32 |
| 0.001 | Corresponds to 1/5000 | 28.84±0.08 |
Each value is represented as mean±S.D. (N=7), Ct=cycle threshold
