An Experiment with DDT against Pests of stored Products
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1947(1) The experiment was carried out on a short term basis due mainly to the limited time available for stored food products work, but it does show the possibilities of giving to the carrier medium an “adhesive” quality for the purpose of retaining an external layer of DDT upon bagged commodities.(2) The increased activity at night of insects attacking ...

Control of stored product pests by ionizing radiation
Journal of Stored Products Research, 2013Abstract Food irradiation for prevention of food-borne illness and disinfestation of commodities of pests is increasing in a number of countries. The goal of this review is to analyze the literature and current use of irradiation to control stored product pests and suggest research to optimize its potential.

Insect Pest Management in Stored Products
Outlooks on Pest Management, 2020Insects are a common problem in stored produce. The author describes the extent of the problem and approaches to countering it. Stored products of agricultural and animal origin, whether edible or non-edible, are favourite food for insect pests. Durable agricultural produce comprising dry raw and processed commodities and perishables (fresh produce ...

Biological Control of Stored-Product Pests
2006Previous reviews on biological control of stored-product pests published during the last 30 years reported results of laboratory experiments, collected examples for practical application in grain stores and in processing companies, and summarized the literature on the relevant control agents dating back to the beginning of the last century.

PESTS IN GRAIN AND OTHER STORED PRODUCTS
Journal of the Institute of Brewing, 1941Difficulties and financial losses arising from insect infestations in stored grain and malt are considerable. The principal primary pests of grain in this country, as they concern maltsters and brewers, are (1) Grain weevils (Calandra), (2) Flour beetles (Tribolium), (3) Khapra beetles (Trogoderma), and (4) Spider beetles (Ptinus, Niptus, and ...

Genetic Variation for Thermal Adaptation in a Cosmopolitan Stored Product Pest
Ecology LettersABSTRACT Ectotherms' ability to adapt to climate warming depends on the availability of genetic variation. This is particularly important for insect pests because adaptation to warming could lead to greater crop damage and food shortages.

Stored products pests and remote moisture sensors
Journal of Stored Products Research, 1983Abstract It was found that moisture sensors, containing insecticide-treated grain and implanted into an experimental bulk of wheat, acted as ready-made insect traps. The presence of dead insects in the sensors gave a clear indication of the insect distribution in the bulk.

Stored-Product Insect Pest Management and Control
2002Insect pest management and control is a serious concern for food processing and milling facilities. Contamination of products can have direct economic consequences either through damage and quality deterioration or intangible losses associated with customer dissatisfaction. In the past, most insect control programs at food plants were heavily dependent

Applied Ecology of Stored-Product Pests
200848 6 Conclusions The relationship between the rate of increase of temperature was significant for A.siro, Aleuroglyphus ovatus and T. putrescentiae. By using real temperatures recorded in Czech grain stores, it was shown that the pest mite population increases only during 3.5 months within a typical 9-month storage season in central Europe.
