- Stored commodities are man-made ecosystems and interactions of biological agents with its surrounding physical environment could result in significant economic losses if physical environment is not manipulated to make it lethal or at least difficult for survival of biological agents. Control and Management of Pests in Stored Products is based on 18 invited presentations by world-renowned experts on topics of relevance to control and manage pests in stored products. Each chapter synthesizes the state-of-art knowledge on the selected topics dealing with fumigation, fumigants, and other methods of controlling insects such as low temperature, diatomaceous earth, integrated pest management and provides recommendations for future research. It also includes two chapters on practical aspects of fumigation dealing with engineering considerations and safety. The contents of the chapters were presented as the keynote addresses at the International Conference on Controlled Atmosphere and Fumigation in Stored Products.This book serves as a reference book for graduate students, researchers, and facility managers, and can also be useful as a textbook for courses dealing with aspects of grain storage for students in agricultural engineering, agricultural entomology and food science.
