Extension Theory for Classification of the Stored-Grain Insects

2010 International Conference on Machine Vision and Human-machine Interface, 2010
The design of the classifier is one of the important parts of the online detection system of the stored-grain insects based on the image recognition technology. The classification of the insects was of many image feature parameters, and the mixing degree among feature parameters of various species of the insects was large.

Phoxim as an Insect Protectant for Stored Grains

Journal of Economic Entomology, 1971
Phoxim was tested on hard winter wheat, shelled corn, and sorghum grain as a protectant against adult rice weevils, Sitophilus oryzae (L.); red flour beetles, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst); confused flour beetles, T. confusum Jacquelin duVal; and lesser grain borers, Rhyzopertha Dominica (F.).

Insect Pest Management in Stored Grain

2018
Once cereal grain is harvested and put into storage, it provides a resource for a range of insect pests of stored grain. With few exceptions, these insects rarely attack grain in the field before harvest, but once the grain is in storage there is a degree of inevitability that insect infestation will occur.

Insects of Stored Grain

2007
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 relationship of insects to the deterioration of stored grain by fungi

International Journal of Food Microbiology, 1988
The data presented tests the hypothesis that knowledge of basic biological relationships between insects and fungi in the stored grain ecosystem can open new paths for management of the system. Evidence indicates: (1) some storage insect species are disseminators of storage fungi and some are exterminators; (2) some storage fungi attract storage ...

Grain storage and insect pests of stored grain in rural Niger

Journal of Stored Products Research, 2015
Abstract We surveyed 1293 farmers and traders in southern Niger to learn about their grain storage practices and their views on the storage pest problem. We identified the insect species found in samples obtained from 40 localities in three regions of the country.

Insect Pests in Stored Grain

2012
The chemical composition and nutritional quality of grains and seeds do not change substantially during storage; that is, insects that feed on stored grain have stable food source, without major changes in nutritional composition and their defense compounds over time.

A TRAP FOR THE DETECTION AND RECOVERY OF INSECTS IN STORED GRAIN

The Canadian Entomologist, 1967
AbstractA trap that excludes grain kernels but permits the entry of grain beetles and mites is described. It may be used as a sampling device to detect insect infestations in stored grain. Sampling may be done with little disturbance to the surrounding grain and since the insects cannot escape, the trap can be left in position for prolonged periods.

An Inventory of Stored Grain Insects in Michigan

The Great Lakes Entomologist, 2017
(excerpt) The problems with insects in commercial and farm-stored corn, small grains, dry beans, and soybeans are reduced to a minimum by Michigan's cool climate and usually short period of storage (Ruppel, 1976). Yet insects still infest scattered bins of grain in the state. The incidence of stored grain problems has increased over the past few years.

Detection techniques for stored-product insects in grain

Food Control, 2007
Abstract Cereal grains are the major source of food for humans and most domesticated animals. In many developing countries, overall post-harvest losses of cereals and legumes of about 10–15% are fairly common. Consumption of cereals and legumes by pests such as insects during storage and microbial spoilage or contamination may make these totally ...
