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.

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 ...

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.

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

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 ...

Breeding for Resistance to Insect Pests of Stored Grain
2012The stored grain pests cause serious damage annually. According to FAO the losses from pest attack stored grain is estimated at 10 %. These losses arise from several factors; beginning in the field where the grain already harvested may contain insect eggs, and go to bad storage conditions, which may favor the development of these pests and other insect

Resistance to phosphine (PH3) in key insect pests of stored grain is increasing, with a requirement for maintaining a dose as high as 1 mg l-1 for 14 d for effective fumigation, which is difficult to achieve under most commercial storage conditions ...

A Review on Stored Grain Pests
2022Insect pests of stored grain. Insect pests causes severe damage to stored grain foods by directly consuming the embryos of the food grain. During offseason, when fresh produce is unavailable people need to eat stored grains. Food stored in sacks and canisters are particularly vulnerable to pervasion with a few bugs which can cause broad post-collect ...
