“…Fly ash is characterized by its composition of various chemical elements, such as alumina, silica, copper and iron, which have low specific gravity, an absence of flexibility and supplementary pozzolanic action (Hariprasad et al . 2020). The pulse beetle C. chinensis , which attacks different pulses, was treated with 1 g of fly ash per 5 kg of pulses under normal storage conditions, and no adult C. chinensis was found in pulses treated with fly ash, even after 12 months of treatment (Mendki et al .…”

Storage grain infestation is a critical problem, with insect pests and rodents causing economic losses and reductions in the quality of food grains and food products. It has been assessed as affecting 9% of goods in developed countries and more than 20% of goods in developing countries. The chemical insecticides used for storing products protect against insect pests, but introduce hazards associated with handling insecticides and the residues on food, which threaten nontarget organisms, and so represent a serious problem to the environment. Biorational methods are low risk, are obtained from animals, plants, bacteria and some minerals, and are segregated into microbial, plant‐associated protectant and biochemical substances. This method encompasses temperature management, modified atmospheric storage, ionizing irradiation, the mixing of inert materials, pheromone traps, botanicals, insect growth regulators, entomopathogens and host plant resistance. Biorational methods have emerged as alternative or supplemental pest control methods. Biopesticides would help in preventing the use of large quantities of pesticides across the globe, thus providing residue‐free food and a safe environment for living. Further investigation is needed to integrate these elements to enhance the efficacy, minimize the losses and diminish the reliance on pesticides for the preservation of stored commodities.

The basic data on the volume of formation and composition of fly ash, which is a product of coal combustion at thermal power stations, are given. The analysis of the current state of ways of managing fly ash makes it possible to distinguish the following main directions: physical-mechanical, physical-chemical, biological and combined methods of handling it, which are used in agriculture (use as fertilizers and pesticides; chemical land reclamation: regulation of the structure and pH of the soil); during earthworks (reinforcement of weak and expansive soils, use as tamponage compositions, arrangement of embankments and dams); road construction (strengthening of the soil for the lower layers of the road surface; production of asphalt, cement-concrete mixtures for arranging the foundations of road clothing, as well as crushed stone-sand and gravel-sand mixtures reinforced with cement); building materials industry (cement, concrete, building solutions, geopolymers, bricks, building blocks, glass, glass ceramics, building ceramics, porous ceramics, rolled waterproofing materials); in protective coatings (paints, enamels, enamel glass, shotcrete, heat-protective and heat-insulating coatings); as sorbents and catalysts and their carriers; in mechanical engineering (abrasive, frictional, filtering and lubricating materials, materials for soldering, foundry sand forms or rods); as other materials (pigments, polymer composites, elements of chemical sources of electric current, accumulators of certain substances, carbon nanoparticles (fullerenes, nanotubes), cosmetics and hygiene products); in pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods of recovery of chemical elements; in alloys and metal matrix composites; for extracting rare earth elements. Currently, the most appropriate methods of disposal of fly ash are either its direct use with a minimal change in its properties, or its use with minimal processing and minimization of the formation of new waste, in particular in the building materials industry and road construction.
