Post-harvest treatments to mitigate weevil damage involve submerging chestnuts in heated water for \u226520\u2009min. Prolonged submergence in hot water, however, can discolor chestnuts or diminish quality of chestnuts in cold storage. We assessed larval emergence from chestnuts held at room temperature (controls), or submerged in water at 22.5\u00b0C (unheated), 43.3\u00b0C, 49.0\u00b0C, 54.4\u00b0C, or 60\u00b0C for periods of 5 to 30\u2009min. Subsets of treated chestnuts were quartered after submergence, then again following 30, 60, or 90\u2009d of cold storage (1\u00b0C) to evaluate larval feeding damage, chestnut quality and storability. Effective control (less than 1 emerged larva per 100 chestnuts) corresponded to submergence for 15\u2009min in 49\u00b0C water, 10\u2009min in 54.4\u00b0C water or 5\u2009min in 60\u00b0C water, while 24 to 41 larvae per 100 chestnuts emerged from controls. Quality of chestnuts in cold storage declined sharply for chestnuts submerged in 54.4\u00b0C water for 25\u2009min or 60\u00b0C water for 20 to 25\u2009min. Submerging chestnuts for 10 to 20\u2009min in 54.4\u00b0C water appeared optimal; no larvae emerged and chestnut quality was retained for 60\u2009d in cold storage. Time needed to attain core temperatures lethal to weevil larvae varied with chestnut size. Curatura (water curing) and exposure to alternating cycles of warm and cold temps were also evaluated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jee\/toag300","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,15]],"date-time":"2026-09-15T12:04:44Z","timestamp":1789473884000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Post-harvest treatments to reduce emergence and\u00a0damage\u00a0caused by larvae of\n                    <i>Curculio sayi<\/i>\n                    (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)"],"prefix":"10.1093","author":[{"given":"Maximilian","family":"Ferguson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Michigan State University , East Lansing, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniel E","family":"Guyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, Michigan State University , East Lansing, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9765-0338","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deborah G","family":"McCullough","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Entomology, Michigan State University , East Lansing, MI,","place":["USA"]},{"name":"Department of Forestry, Michigan State University , East Lansing, MI,","place":["USA"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026100713075061800_toag300-B1","author":"AMRC [Agricultural Marketing Research Center]","year":"2019"},{"key":"2026100713075061800_toag300-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"48","DOI":"10.18637\/jss.v067.i01","article-title":"Fitting linear mixed-effects models using lme4","volume":"67","author":"Bates","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
