Following advance online publication, the authors identified several typographical errors which led to misinformation in this published early version of the article. In addition to minor formatting changes, the following revisions were made:
The first sentence in the Introduction should have read:
Coffee (Coffea arabica L. and Coffea canephora Pierre ex A. Froehner) is the second largest valuable primary product traded after petroleum, providing employment for about 25 million people worldwide, popularly referred as ‘brown gold’.
The second paragraph of the Results section should have reflected the following figure citation:
Effect of gamma radiation on the first and second instar larva and prepupae is presented in .
Figure 2. Effect of gamma radiation on mortality of the first and the second instar larva and prepupa of Hypothenemus hampei after treatment. Data are mean ± SD three replicates. Bars with same letter are not significantly different (p > .05).
was replaced to reflect the units of radiation in the dose consistent with the units represented throughout the rest of the article.
In Table 2, The species for the larva and pupa stage, rather than the species for the pupa stage, should have stated:
