Improving detection probabilities for pests in stored grain [PDF]
Pest Management Science, 2010 AbstractBACKGROUND: The presence of insects in stored grain is a significant problem for grain farmers, bulk grain handlers and distributors worldwide. Inspection of bulk grain commodities is essential to detect pests and thereby to reduce the risk of their presence in exported goods. It has been well documented that insect pests cluster in response to

Identification of stored grain pests by modified residual network
Computers and Electronics in Agriculture, 2021Abstract Stored grain pests severely affect both grain production and quality. It is essential to adopt technology to identify its kinds as quickly as possible. The objective of this work was to use deep learning to identify six kinds of common stored grain pests.

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.

Toxicity of Calcium Phosphate to some Pests of Stored Grain
Nature, 1964IN spite of some basic differences in the physiological and biochemical aspects of insects and mammals1,2, no work seems to have been carried out on the nutritional effect of different inorganic salts on the growth and development of insects of stored foods, with the view of finding out salts specifically toxic to insects and non-toxic to mammals.

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.

Grain storage and insect pests of stored grain in rural Niger
Journal of Stored Products Research, 2015Abstract 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.

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?

Insect Pest Management in Stored Grain
2018Once 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.

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.

Mercury as a Control for Stored Grain Pests
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1944The Indian custom of placing metallic mercury with the grain in the storage container to prevent infestation by insects has been investigated. It is found to have a sound scientific basis as the presence of mercury prevents the reproduction of certain of these pests.Experiments showed that the vapour of mercury was fully effective in preventing ...
