| dc.description | The control of stored grain pests stands mostly on broad action insecticides and fumigants. Unfortunately, this leads to contamination of food with toxic pesticide residues (Debnath et al., 2011). In addition, the main problem in controlling pests in stored grain is the resistance to pesticides. Regarding the resistance of grain pests and pesticide residues, it seems that chemical control is not an appropriate approach for controlling the population of these pests (Talukder and Howse, 2000; Isman, 2006). While traditional pesticides play a significant role in stored-product integrated pest management (IPM), there has recently been, and will continue to be, a greater emphasis on alternative approaches (inert dusts, essential oils, botanical extracts...etc.). Therefore, environmentally safe and convenient methods such as the use of inert dusts, plant extracts, oils, leaf powders and pressurized carbon dioxide and temperature | |
| dc.description.abstract | 1. INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important crop used for human food and livestock feed. Therefore, much efforts should be made towards sustainable production of wheat and increase its quality by reducing the pests infestation (Shewry, 2009). Stored grain infestation is a very serious problem as various life stages of insects cause economic damage and deteriorates the quality of food grains and food products. There are number of stored grain insect-pests that infest food grains in stores and public warehouses and massively surge due to un-controlled environmental conditions and poor ware housing technology and these pests not only inflict qualitative and quantitative losses, but also damage the grains germinating capacity completely (Righi-Assia et al., 2010). Grain loss may be caused by fungi, insect-pests and the inadequate handling from harvest to storage and all these factors can result in important financial losses (Lazzari and Lazzari, 2002). Loss may reach 10% of the total product each year, which t | |
