A Review of Recent Studies of the Effects of Controlled Atmospheres on Stored Product Pests

The Feasibility of Using Modified Atmospheres to Control Insect Pests in Museums

“…1 Schrock has provided a list of commonly damaged materials in museums and their associated pests. 2 Other groups such as termites and silverfish may also be extremely important, especially in southeast Asia.…”

Combined Effect of Hermetic Bag and Insect Resistant Variety for the Control of Larger Grain Borer and Maize Weevil in Stored Maize

“…Although extreme levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide were not attained, the low damage and weight loss levels observed indicated that the insects were inactive. Very low oxygen level has been shown to change fecundity and delay development without causing mortality of the insects while elevated carbon dioxide level in some insects may induce diapauses (Bailey and Banks, 1980). The study demonstrates that even with infested grain before storage, PICS and SuperGrain II™ bags would achieve satisfactory protection against damage and weight loss.…”
