Microflora of stored grain in international trade
Mycopathologia, 1975Although the temperature of grain in the holds of ships arriving in Japan from Argintina, Australia, Canada, China and USA during 1966-67 varied with the grain, country of origin, and season, it was likely to be determined by the temperature of the grain when it was loaded into the ships.

On the intelligent detection of insects in stored grain
Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Electronic & Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology, 2011The detection of insects is always investigated for stored grain; the correct insect species identification and density ascertain provides the necessary basis for insects' prevention and control. This paper has carried on the brief narration and analysis to the stored grain pests in domestic and foreign research results.

Sound transmission in stored grain
Applied Acoustics, 1995Abstract The transmission of sound in stored grain was investigated to facilitate the use of sensitive microphones to detect insect infestations. Such infestations cause significant loss (about 10%, or a billion (109) dollars worth, annually in the USA), and early detection is an important factor in reducing such losses. The tests were conducted in a

Stored Grain: Invertebrate Pests
2004Without some form of pest control, grain stored for a significant period of time is likely to be infested by invertebrate pests. Insects and other invertebrates may cause both quantitative and qualitative losses. Control of infestation may be achieved through stock and store management, hygiene, grain protectants, and fumigation.

After the farmer has ploughed, sown, reaped and brought home the harvest, he still has another problem to overcome, namely how to store and keep his harvest free from household pests. He can keep it free from mice (rodents) if the store is well constructed and tightly shut — but how is he to control the many insects?

A pocket reference that allows the non-specialist to identify major insect and arachnid pests found in stored cereal grains, grain products and grain legumes. It describes most storage pests found worldwide and provides concise information on the biology, distribution, damage and economic importance of each species.

The metabolism of contact insecticides in stored grains
1967Despite immense efforts to increase food production, enormous quantities of harvested food are wasted through inadequate protection of the stored crop and many thousands of the world’s population still die of starvation or malnutrition. Between harvest and consumption, cereal grains such as barley, maize, oats, rice, rye, sorghum, and wheat are stored ...

India’s grain production has steadily increased due to advances in technology, but postharvest loss is constant at 10%. Losses during storage account for around 6% of the total losses as proper storage facilities are not available (Sharon et al. 2014). The postharvest losses in India amount to 12–16 million metric tons of food grains each year, and the

Ecological determinants of mould growth in stored grain
International Journal of Food Microbiology, 1988Grain entering store carries a microflora of 'field' and 'storage' fungi. Field fungi require readily available water and therefore seldom develop in store. By contrast, storage fungi, especially Aspergillus spp., are able to grow at low water activities (aw, 0.70-0.75) enabling them to initiate grain spoilage. The ability of storage fungi to germinate,

Mercury as a Preventive against Stored Grain Pests
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1946Mercury and tin amalgam were tried in mud bins, metallic bins and bamboo bins at different places in the Punjab. Mercury distributed throughout the bin at the rate of 3–4 tolas per maund of wheat proved effective in completely checking the increase of various stored grain pests. Mercury used at the bottom and top 10–12 in.
