“…It makes the field workers and researchers clear to train the people or farmers in the respective manner, that is, for control measures effectiveness reaches almost a year, the method to store such amount of grains to escape from pest attack. Use of metal bins for storage of stocked and useful for prevention of the pest attack Ali et al (2009) reported that tin containers and plastic bags proved to be best in storing the wheat grains as compared to the gunny bags and earthen pots. Baloch et al (1994) reported that jute bags are the reason of high infestation of insects in the grains.…”

“…The reason of high infestation in jute or gunny bags is that these storage facilities support ventilation and also increase the moisture content of the grains which results in moulding, webbing and insect infestation. In contrast, the plastic bins and metal containers do not allow any air to flow in and also maintain the moisture content, thus keep the insect infestation low (Ali et al, 2009). The interviews revealed that more than 85% of the people can identify the stored grain pests.…”

This research has a mint of importance in Pakistan where a major part of the economy is based on agricultural products. A survey was conducted in the Punjab province to evaluate the types and methods of storage and the pest attack on their storage and their control strategies as well. Questionnaire was designed to collect the information from the local people, gender, including students, landlords, house owners/housewives and farmers. Data indicated the use of chemicals for the control of the pests in their storage best. The most common storage facility is metallic bin. Pest which was reported by people was Red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum Herbst. Main seasons of attack of the pests are summer and rainy. Data gave a lot of other information about storage which can be helpful for further research on the local storage of grains, its pests and their control.

“…The wheat grains are stored in tin kouta, earthen potor motka, metal and plastic containers, gunny and polythene bags. These types of storage materials are cheap and easy to handle (Ali et al 2009). Sometimes various type of indigenous materials e.g.…”

“…It was found that camphor and naphthalene are cheap and very effective against stored grain pests (Latif et al 2004). Ali et al (2009) tested the effectiveness of various containers (Tin kouta, earthen pot, plastic container and gunny bag), chemicals (Naphthalene and camphor) and indigenous materials (neem leaf powder and sand) against Angoumois grain moth, red flour beetle and rice weevil in stored wheat. A significant lowest population of grain moth (1.40-7.93), red flour beetle (6.40-35.33) and rice weevil (0.20-9.13) was found in plastic containers.…”

The economic loss due to pest attack in stored commodities is a serious problem worldwide. About 200 insect species attack stored commodities. These insect pests are responsible for quantitative and qualitative losses in cereal grains. Among the stored grain pests, Angoumois grain moth, Sitotroga cerealella is considered as common, top of the list and most destructive pest of cereal grains. Its infestation starts in the standing crop and continues in storage. Although there are many control strategies, our need is some effective, cheap and readily available strategy for safe storage. This review presents different ways by which S. cerealella can be controlled. In this paper, a list of approaches is given which are used to improve the protection of stored grains against S. cerealella attack. These approaches include use of edible oils, containers, synthetic chemicals, agricultural waste materials, plant derivatives, bacterial protoxins, biopesticides, biocontrol enhancers and semiochemicals. If these tactics are followed as combined strategies in a compatible manner, they can provide us an integrated pest management programme for the efficient control of S. cerealella in cereal grains.

he laboratory experiments were conducted to study the efficacy of some indigenous products such as plant products (chopped neem leaves ajwain seed powder, garlic capsules, saw dust), animal derivedproducts ( cow dung cake powder, cow urine) and inert materials ( ash powder, sand, talcum powder, salt) @ 2g/100g of wheat grains against rice weevil, Sitophilus oryzae (Linn.) and lesser grain borer, Rhyzoper thadominica (Fab.) on stored wheat by undertaking various parameters viz., percent adult emergence, percent seed damage, per cent weight loss and per cent germination after six months of storage during April to October 2015. After 180 days of treatments, the minimum number of adults weevils of S. oryzae( 4.00, 6.00,7.67, 9.00, 9.67 and 10.33) were emerged in wheat grains treated with ash powder, sand, cow dung powder, talcum powder, ajwain seed powder and neem leaf powder, respectively with minimum grain damage (7.33 %, 8.67 %,11.67 % and 12.00 %) was observed on ash powder, sand, ajwain seed powder and talcum powder, respectively, whereas minimum weight loss (2.67 %, 3.67 %, 5.67 % and 6.67 %) was recorded on ash powder, sand, cow dung powder, talcum powder and ajwain seed powder, respectively. Similarly, the minimum number of adult beetles of R. dominica were emerged (2.00,2.33, 6.67,7.00 and 8.33) in ash power, sand, talcum powder, cow dung cake powder and ajwain seed powder, respectively with minimum grain damage (4.00 %,8.00 %. 8.67 % and 12.67 % and weight loss (1.33 %, 4.00 %, 7.33 % and 11.67 %) in sand, ash powder, talcum powder and cow dung cake treated wheat grains, respectively. It has been clearly observed that seed germination was not affected adversely in any treatment during six months of storage. The present study clearly revealed that these naturally occurring indigenous products could be used to manage the storage insect pests in wheat.

Effect of Some Containers, Chemicals and Indigenous Materials on Incidence of Wheat Pests in Storage

Abstract: (3.92-28.98), red flour beetle (7.58-43.08) and rice weevil (0.75-9.08) was found in naphthalene. Camphor had the similar population level of those three insect pests during the study period.
