ABSTRACT:The variety of keep grain insects is usually neglected as several of the employees suppose that it’s restricted or no diversity as client tolerance towards insect pests in keep grains is zero. Survey was conducted in six districts of Hyderabad- province region to seek out out the variety and insects infesting major keep pulses throughout 2014-15. Callasobruchus analisL., C.

maculates F., C. chinensis L. and T.

castaneum H. were insect pests ascertained in collected pulse samples. Dinarmusbasalis R., D. vagabundus T.,Dinarmus sp. and Uscana sp.

were the hymenopteron parasitoids on pulse beetle collected from the samples. Rank abundance showed that C. analis was dominant species found on keep pulses. 3. A study was conducted with the objectives of assessing comparative grain injury and weight loss in maize due Prostephanus truncatus and Sitophilus zeamais at 10 varied population densities (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, forty five and fifty insects per two hundred g grain) and 3 storage durations (30, sixty and ninety days), in an exceedingly laboratory. the ultimate insect densities, % grain injury, flour (dust) made and weight loss because of P.

truncatus exceeded that of the S. zeamais. Mean final insect population density, % mud production, and weight loss hyperbolic over the storage amount for P.

truncatus. However, % mud production and weight loss didn’t show vital increase over the storage time for S. zeamais. % grain injury declined sixty days once grain storage for P. truncatus. However, % grain injury hyperbolic sharply over the storage amount for S. zeamais.

A mean weight loss of sixty seven.1 and 6.9% recorded at associate degree initial population density of fifty insects two hundred g-1 grain, once ninety days for P. truncatusand S.

zeamais, severally. Flour production by P. truncatus (52.

8%) was beyond that of S. zeamais (1.2%) once ninety days because of intensive tunneling to the grain by the previous.

finally, P. truncatus, caused high grain injury and weight loss, indicating that management measures ought to be designed at the onset of grain storage if the grain is planned to be keep for quite thirty days. ancient grain storage facilities might not supply protection against P.

truncatus, however promotion of the employment of metal silos and resistant varieties in African nation for grain storage is an alternate approach to cut back losses by P. truncatus. Key words: injury, dust, maize, population density, Prostepahnus truncatus; Sitophilus zeamais, storage four).4. Abstract:The main difference is found after the two experimental surveys held out of insects pest’s stored products. Only a single set from the samples is taken from this and the population’s dynamics study in which changes that occurs in population level is measured along a time period as well as the factors that are responsible for such changes or alterations in population growth rate. Thus the components of tha history of growth rate are studied to illustrate the possible growth rate spectrums.Here the three species are discussed with respect to their population dynamics to explain the complexity, diversity and the recent level of population dynamics of stored product insects.

5. Abstract:Recent will increase in costs of raw grain, together with wheat, can scale back action thresholds for insect injury and thus justify additional analysis into management practices and understanding of cuss ecology in keep grain. Compared to most different habitats, natural or artificial , a crammed grain silo constitutes a novel and fairly undiversified environment during which food convenience for several grain-feeding insects is unlimited. An elementary facet of stored-grain insect ecology could be a higher understanding of associations among common beetle species.We analyzed the densities of 3 vital stored-grain beetle species, Rhyzopertha dominica (F.

) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae), Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) (Coleoptera: Laemophloeidae), and arthropod genus castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) in wheat samples collected in 1999–2001 from 129 grain silos in Kansas. The beetles studied here area unit extremely mobile, and therefore the range of insects in every grain sample could be a results of the beetles’ preference for favorable microenvironmental conditions and presumably of intra- and interspecies associations. In general, the quantity of T. castaneum in an exceedingly grain sample hyperbolic because the range of R. dominica hyperbolic, however the quantity of C.

ferrugineus wasn’t related to with the quantity of R. dominica. The densities of each T. castaneum and R. dominica faded because the range of C. ferrugineus hyperbolic. Cryptolestes ferrugineus and T.

castaneumcan be predators and therefore the species composition of insects in an exceedingly grain sample is also changed by predation. As T. castaneum populations hyperbolic, so did R. dominica however not C. ferrugineus. Our associate degreealysis of the species composition in grain samples is mentioned in an ecological context.

ABSTRACT: keep grain temperatures and population dynamics of rusty grain beetles, Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens), foreseen by a hot spot model, including feedback from the insect model to the temperature model, and a spatial model, that didn’t embody that feedback, were compared. For associate degree initial grain temperature of 30³C associate degreed an initial population of 10,000 adult insects in keep grain at Winnipeg, Canada, the new spot model foreseen a most of one hundred twenty adults/kg of wheat at the middle of the grain bulk toward the top of fall and a most temperature of 39³C. The spatial model foreseen associate degree adult population of five hundred adults/kg of wheat and no will increase in temperatures. For an equivalent simulation conditions however mistreatment weather knowledge for Topeka, Kansas, the new spot model foreseen a most of one hundred fifty adults/kg of wheat at the middle of the majority in fall, whereas the spatial model foreseen a most of 800 adults/kg. The new spot model is nearer to reality than the spatial model as a result of it simulates the consequences of variable heating round the bin wall, insect heat production, and bug movement. 7. Abstract :3 dimensional temporal and spatial distributions of adults of arthropod genus castaneum (Herbst) at insect densities of zero.1 (low), 1.

0 (medium), and 5.0 (high) adults/kg wheat (A/kg) were determined in an exceedingly one.5 t bin of wheat with eleven ± zero.

8%, 13 ± 0.6% and fifteen ± zero.3% wet contents (wet basis) at twenty ± one, twenty five ± one and thirty ± 1_C. The 1.5 t of wheat was sampled at 5 locations. At every location, grain was separated into 3 fifteen kilogram vertical layers and adult numbers in every layer were counted.

Adults didn’t like any location within the horizontal direction, whereas fewer adults were recovered from the lowest layers than that from the highest and middle layers. range of adults at a location with any temperature or insect density didn’t correlate with its adjacent locations in either vertical or horizontal direction. The temporal continuous property existed in any respect insect densities. These results were in line with the tendency of the aggregation of the adults at the low and medium densities. Adults had extremely clump distributions at low and medium densities and this aggregation behavior faded with the rise of insect densities. Temperature tested didn’t influence their aggregation behavior.

Abstract:In Southerneast Georgia the small mass of stored corn was infested by insects pests. After 8 months of storage the sampling taken from the stored corn followed by 10 yrs inwhich sampling taken at every month.

The composition or variety of the species of insects community has changed as the corn destroyed. At every level of succession, some species became dominant. As the first sample was taken, Sitoiroga cerealella (Olivier) was the most dominant specie and after a month it was overwhelm by another specie named Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.) that have become declined after 2 months after the dominance but unfortunately had died after the 3 years. Cryptolestes ferrugneus (Stephens) has become dominant sometimes during the first of the 4 years.

Sitophilus zearnais( Motschulsky) has become dominant during the 2nd year but also dominant again in the 3rd year. Anisopteromalus calandrae(Howard) was the most dominant specie when a sample taken during the 3rd year and it was the hymenopteran parasite of S.zeamais.

Tribolium castaneum(Herbst) was the most important component of the community of insects during the time period of the storage peeiod and was the most important dominant specie during the 3rd year till to 5th year. Latheiicus oryzae became dominant during the time period when the grain has much become demaged during the 5th period and there is a large no. of insects waste, flour and frass has accumulated. 9. Abstract:In storage facilities one will notice grain either in keep grain mass or in grain residues within the store corners or machinery. Though it’s claimed that grain residues area unit serious cuss reservoirs since they harbor numbers of keep product arthropods and area unit connected via continuous out-migration with grain mass, the documentation for this is often not convincing. So in seventy eight selected grain stores, we have a tendency to at the same time sampled the grain mass and residues so as to match synchronous mite communities in these 2 totally different habitats.

we have a tendency to found thirty species in regarding 614 000 people in residues and twenty three species in regarding twenty 000 people in grain mass. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) of reworked abundance knowledge showed variations within the communities of mites in grain mass and residues: (i) species associated to grain residues (e.g. Tyrophagus longior, Tydeus interruptus, mite farris and Cheyletus eruditus) and (ii) species associated to each grain mass and grain residues (e.

g. Tarsonemus granarius, mite siro, Tyrophagus putrescentiae, Lepidoglyphus destructor and Cheyletus malaccensis). Though the residue samples had additional mites and better species diversity than the keep grain mass, no correlation in mite abundance and species numbers between samples from grain residues and grain mass was found, thereby indicating low property of those 2 habitats. 10. Abstract: knowledge were collected in 1998–2002 from wheat keep in business grain elevators in south-central Kansas. Bins at these elevators had concrete walls and were usually 6–9 m in diameter and 30–35 m tall.

A vacuum-probe sampler was wont to collect grain samples within the prime twelve m of the wheat in every bin.The primary insect species found within the wheat samples were: Cryptolestes ferrugineus, Rhyzoperthadominica, and arthropod genus castaneum. within the prime three.7 m of grain, R. dominica, C. ferrugineus, T. castaneum and Sitophilus oryzae created up forty four, 36, nineteen and I Chronicles of the insects found within the samples, severally.

From 3.8 to 12.2 m, R. dominica, C. ferrugineus, T. castaneum and S. oryzae were gift at eighty four, 8, 8, and 1%, severally. the foremost rife species additionally modified over time.

In June, the beginning of wheat harvest and storage in Kansas, insect density was low within the bins. At now, C. ferrugineus was the foremost common insect, and it absolutely was found principally within the prime grain sample (0–1.2 m). In Sept through Nov, C. ferrugineus and R. dominica were at similar densities; but, from Feb to March, R. dominicawas additional common.

Generally, insect density was greatest at the highest and faded with grain depth. only a few insects were found in samples collected from bigger than twelve m (most of the bins contained grain to depths of 24–36 m). #Insect density for all species hyperbolic chop-chop from June through Gregorian calendar month. throughout this era below two hundredth of the bins had economically vital insect densities (>2 insects/kg). From Gregorian calendar month till Feb, the typical insect density remained fairly constant however it absolutely was greatly reduced in Gregorian calendar month, May,and June.

Bins that had insect densities more than 2 insects/kg cared-for be situated adjacent to different heavily plagued bins.Published by Elsevier Lt11. ABSTRACT: A colossal survey of state and personal godowns was conducted throughout December, 2014-2016 from Dera Ismail Khan and its adjacent geogrphic region areas to seek out out the species composition and infestation level of insect pests related to keep maize. Maize beetle, Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky) followed by confused tenebrionid (Tribolium confusum), lesser grain borer (Rhiozopertha dominica), gelechiid (Sitotroga cerealella), {rice beetle|black weevil|Sitophylus oryzae|weevil} (Sitophilus oryzae) and maize weevil parasitoid (Anisopteromalus calandrae) were the key insect pests and helpful of keep maize within the study space. The collected species belonged to a few totally different orders i.

e. Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera. All the surveyed locations had infestation of S. zeamais throughout January to Nov, 2015 and 2016 and no infestation of the targeted insects throughout the month of December, 2014 and 2015. The infestation of the maize beetle began to build up throughout January and reached at peak throughout the month of could.During the acute hot months of June and July the population of the cuss was at decline. Among the visited locations, Dera Ismail Khan and its adjacent areas had higher population of S.

zeamais as compared to its adjacent geographic region areas throughout the study amount. The population of parasitoid, A. calandrae began to build up throughout the month of Gregorian calendar month and reached at peak throughout the month of June, whereas; it absolutely was minimum throughout July-August.

Among the surveyed locations, relatively higher % parasitization was found in Dera Ismail Khan and lower in Paharpur and Darya Khan areas. Overall, Dera Ismail Khan (KPK) had highest, whereas; Notak and Bhakkar areas (Punjab) had lowest population of A.calandrae throughout the surveyed amount. the most proportion grain injury (37.51%) and weight losses (33.23%) were recorded in Dera Ismail Khan whereas; minimum % infestation and weight loss was recorded in Paroa space. 12.

Abstract:In an exceedingly flour mill, seasonal trends in stored-product insect entice capture, relationships between entice captures within and out of doors the mill, and between secretion entice capture and merchandise infestation,and the impact of application on cuss populations, were assessed. Mark-recapture was wont to assess the potential for movement of insects outside the mill into the mill. For Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and Trogoderma variabile Ballion (Coleoptera: Dermestidae),pheromone entice captures outside were beyond within the mill, and once within and out of doors entice captures were related to, each indoor and out of doors entice captures cared-for cycle consistent with a seasonal pattern; fumigations didn’t systematically influence secretion entice captures, and in barely one instance were they found in product samples. Mark-recapture knowledge indicated that P. interpunctella was capable of getting into the building from outside. arthropod genus castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) entice captures, in distinction, cared-for be lower outside compared to within, followed a pattern of sharp decline once application treatment, then steady hyperbolic (0.

002–0.005 beetles/trap/day) till successive application. This pattern, then again doubtless the speed of increase, wasn’t compact by season and out of doors entice capture levels. arthropod genus castaneum was the first species infesting the merchandise. the knowledge generated during this study provides a number of the knowledge required to develop improved observation and management programs.13.

14. ABSTRACT:It is accepted that in developing countries after the harvest of food crops, msot of the demaged and economic losses takesplace. you want to see it in action first, feel free to play around with one of the included samples.

Experts avoid national and world losses of major food commodities as a result of such figures square measure not possible to substantiate statistically expect on a limit controlled experimental basis. once providing indicative figures for coming up with functions, the consultants usually cite minimum of overall ten p.c losses for sturdy crops i-e.

, cereals and legume grains. Storage loss contributed concerning half this p.c whereas the remaining 5 p.c is also thanks to losses in harvest home, threshing, winnowing, transportation etc. The storage losses embody losses thanks to insects pests, rodents, moulds etc. the current review is, however, confined to losses caused by insects solely to major foodstuff commodities i-e., wheat, rice, maize and alternative cereals and pulses.15.

ABSTRACT:With small or less pesticides risk,prevent the stored grains from the demage caused by insects pests will provide pest management that is based on the ability to understand the environment of the storage place and the interactionof the environment with the pesta population. Computer maping offers the ways to this understanding. For modelling the selected pests of stored maize, we have to obtain data sets and studied the maiz storages on six farms ina four-country area of southwestren South Carolina.

we have to measure the moistureor water content of the grains on monthly basis and note down the temperature of the grains hourly for one season of storage. The population of the insects are measured or calculated by collecting grains and pitfall traps sampling done at weekly and monthly basis. The contents of grains moisture varies from 11.2 to 16.4%.18. Abstract: will. ~ n t1.

2 two: 515-523 (1990) One or additional insects were captured throughout one week in probe traps placed in granaries holding wheat, barley, or oats in fifty one xmas (n = 116) of grain bulks within the fall of 1986, half a mile (n = eleven 1) within the summer of 1987, and eighty fifth (n = 106) within the fall of 1987. Fungivorousinsects were the foremost common and predominant cluster in any respect sampling times. Granivorousspecies were the rusty grain beetle, Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens), and therefore the red tenebrionid, arthropod genus castaneum (Herbst). Grain in galvanized steel and picket granaries was sometimes plagued with insects to an equivalent extent; granaries with or while not aeration systems sometimes contained an equivalent range of species; little bulks of grain usually were plagued less ofttimes than massive bulks; the presence of stock go after farms didn’t lead to bigger insect incidence; and pesticide use in granaries didn’t forestall re-infestation of grain and pesticide use hyperbolic from pure gold in 1986 to thirty first within the fall of 1987.

The types of insects detected in grain keep with numerous farming practices, and co-occurrence with different arthropods within the grain provides baseline data on doubtless dynamical patterns of infestation. Madrid, F.J., N.D.G.

Abstract:Business farms were examined in western Canada to assess the impact of 2 cropping systems (annual-grain and diversified grain-forage) and 2 input systems (high level and organic) on carabid beetles.Pitfall traps were wont to sample beetles over three years (1994–1996). Results showed that 5 species of arthropod family dominated the fifty one species captured (Bembidion quadrimaculatum (LeConte), Bembidion obscurellum (Motschulsky), Agonum placidum(Say), Amara littoralis (Mannerheim), Bembidion nitidum (Kirby)). The annual-grain system was found to support bigger species diversity than the diversified grain-forage system however there was no vital distinction within the mean abundance.

there have been no vital variations between species diversity or mean abundance in high input versus organic systems. a list of carabids related to specific agricultural production systems in Canadian province was developed, supported knowledge assortment and analysis by crop, pest, economic and soil scientists, that area unit meant to observe long property agricultural production systems.

Abstract:Understanding what insect species area unit gift and their temporal and spatial patterns of distribution is very important for developing a victorious integrated cuss management strategy for food storage in warehouses.

Maize is keep in luggage in warehouses in several countries in geographic area, however very little observation data is on the market on insect activity in those warehouses. we have a tendency to monitored the populations of major post-harvest insect pests of maize at 3 totally different warehouses (MiDA, Gundaa and Wienco) in 2 regions in African country (Middle Belt and Northern Belt). The study was conducted from Sept 2015eJuly 2016, that represents a standard maize harvest and storage amount within the 2 regions. the foremost rich insect cuss found within the warehouses was Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), however different major cuss species were recovered throughout the study. grain moth (Oliver) and Prostephanus truncatus (Horn) that area unit major pests on farms, were additional possible to be captured in traps outside or at close farms than within the warehouses.

once recovered within they cared-for be found within the receiving and improvement areas. Sitophilus spp. were unremarkably captured within the warehouses, however were additional rich within the Middle Belt warehouse. Our results known the key species found throughout warehouse storage of maize in African country and recommend that the precise cuss species is also totally different in warehouses compared to on-farm storage. © 2018 printed by Elsevier Ltd2.21. Abstract:Soligas area unit a social group community living within the forest areas of Biligirirangana Hills in southern province, India.

Soligas cultivate many crops in little patches situated near to their settlements for subsistence.During this investigation, the variety, distribution and abundance of insects that infest food grains keep by Soligas were studied and therefore the influence of organic phenomenon and abiotic factors was assessed. Grains command in storage by Soligas were found to be plagued by thirteen species of insects. The distribution and abundance of all the species were mapped. Among these, Sitophilus oryzae was the foremost wide occurring and rich species, while, Corcyra cephalonica was the smallest amount rich and fewer ofttimes occurring species. Species richness was influenced by the quantity of grain varieties keep by Soligas. it absolutely was ascertained that the organic phenomenon and abiotic factors didn’t influence the variety and distribution of keep grain insects.

Instead, the ascertained pattern of keep grain insect distribution was found to be influenced by phylogenesis factors like grain sharing habits among the Soligas and accessibility to the cities and cities from their settlements. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Understanding the population structure of insect fauna infesting keep sorghum is very important for development of management strategy. Sorghum panicles were collected from January to Sept 2011 in farmers’ granaries within the Northern-Sudanianecological zone of land to work out the variety of insect pests and their importance in post-harvest losses. a complete of fourteen species of insect pests were recorded, together with twelve coleopteran and 2 insect species. Species diversity peaked between could and Sept.

the very best insect diversity was recorded in sorghum keep in straw granaries and on red colored grains in comparison therewith of sorghum keep in mud granaries and on white colored grains. Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius) seems to be the first insect cuss followed by secondary pests together with Oryzaephilus Gerhard Kremer (Fauvel), Cryptolestes ferrugineus (Stephens) and Sitophilus zeamais (Motschulsky). The distribution pattern of the pests in granaries corresponds to the mathematician model during which organisation of species in associate degree setting depends on the physical conditions of that setting and on the species presently gift, that recommend a progressive organisation happens in waves with stocks of grain. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:Maize samples were obtained at 2 depths 0–30 cm (top sample) and 30–60 cm (bottom sample) from the maize surface at 19–28 locations from a naturally plagued maize storage facility in Wisconsin, USA.

Based on identification of insects in stored-maize samples from thirteen weekly sampling events, four topics were addressed: (i) the seasonal fluctuation within the insect community; (ii) ordination analysis was conducted to look at the association among insect taxa and to work out their distribution on abiotic and geographic gradients; (iii) the demographic characteristics of insect communities in maize samples with high abundance of either Plodia interpunctella(Plodia samples) orSitophilus zeamais(Sitophilussamples); and (iv) to what extent natural enemies were spatially related to their prey species. we have a tendency to known a complete of eighteen totally different taxa, composed of adults and larvae of fourteen determined species, et al. known to genus, family or order. Insect density was considerably higher in prime samples compared to bottom samples, and therefore the insect taxa occurred additional ofttimes in prime samples compared to bottom samples. within the ordination analysis, the 3 instructive variables accounting for japanese, northern and vertical position of maize samples explained the biggest a part of the overall variance. There was a gradual time trend with a number of the insect species principally occurring early or late within the observation amount.

wet content of the maize was the weakest of the numerous instructive variables, whereas temperature within the grain mass didn’t justify a big a part of the overall variance.Plodia samples andSitophilussamples had considerably {different|totally totally different|completely different} spatial distribution patterns and had markedly different insect species composition. Plodia samples were characterised by low abundance of all granivores and fungivores, except P. interpunctella . Conversely, Sitophilus samples had high abundance ofttimes.castaneum ,A. advena, and C. ferrugineus .

Consequently,Sitophilus samples perceived to comprise additional numerous insect communities than Plodia samples. Natural enemies weren’t considerably related to their most typical hosts. in an exceedingly extremely undiversified environment (stored maize), we have a tendency to incontestable that stored-product insect species had considerably totally different distribution patterns principally on geographic gradients. irregularity of the initial infestation method or interspecies competition area unit 2 of the attainable explanations for the spatial segregation of stored-product insects, and therefore the spatial segregation of insects on an equivalent organic process level could have profound implications for the understanding of however these ecosystems develop over time and thereby however integrated cuss management methods area unit enforced to manage insect cuss populations. 24.

ABSTRACT:Business food- and pheromone-baited pitfall traps and pheromone-baited sticky traps were used throughout 2003 to survey stored-product insect adults in eight collaborating feed mills within the western us. Across the eight feed mills, twenty seven species of beetles (Coleoptera) and 3 species of moths (Lepidoptera) were captured in business traps. The red ßour beetle, Triboliumcastaneum (Herbst), was the foremost rich insect species captured within the eight mills. The warehouse beetle, Trogoderma variabile (Ballion), was the foremost rich insect species outside the mill and within the mill load-out space. The Indianmeal lepidopterous insect, Plodia interpunctella (Hu¨ bner), was the foremost rich lepidopterous insect species within the mill and within the mill receiving space.

The SimpsonÕs index of species diversity among mills ranged from zero.39 (low diversity) to zero.81 (high diversity). the categories of species found among mills were totally different, as indicated by a MorisitaÕs index of fifty.

7, for the bulk of mills. The variations within the varieties and numbers of insect species captured within, outside, in receiving, and in load-out areas might be concerning variations within the sorts of animal feeds made and therefore the degree of sanitation and cuss management practiced. 25. ABSTRACT:Machine-driven strategies of observation keep grain for insect cusss can contribute to early detection and aid in management of pest issues. associate degree insect population infesting keep oats at a seed process plant in north-central American state was studied to check a tool for numeration insects electronically (Electronic Grain Probe Insect Counter, EGPIC), and to characterize the storage setting. The device counts insects as they miscarry associate degree infrared beam incorporated into a modiÞed grain probe (pitfall) entice and transmits the counts to a laptop for accumulation and storage.

Eight traps were inserted into the surface of the grain bulk, and therefore the insects at bay were identiÞed and counted manually at weekly intervals. Grain temperature and wet content alsowere recorded for every entice location. Manual and automatic counts were compared to estimate error within the EGPIC system. each over- and undercounting occurred, and errors ranged from 279.4 to 82.

4%. The mean definite quantity of error (6SE) was thirty one.7% (64.3).

a minimum of thirty one species, or higher taxa, were detected, however the psocopterous insect arthropod genus entomophila (Enderlein) and therefore the foreign grain beetle, Ahasverus advena (Waltl), accounted for half a mile of the captured insects. Species diversity, phenology, and spatial distribution area unit conferred, in addition as temporal and spatial distribution of grain temperature and wet content. the info sets generated can Þnd application in population modeling and development of integrated cuss management systems for keep grain.
