Abstract

Despite immense efforts to increase food production, enormous quantities of harvested food are wasted through inadequate protection of the stored crop and many thousands of the world’s population still die of starvation or malnutrition. Between harvest and consumption, cereal grains such as barley, maize, oats, rice, rye, sorghum, and wheat are stored and processed for various periods under a variety of conditions and are thus susceptible to many types of mechanical or biological spoilage. Much biological spoilage can be attributed to insect infestation, often aided by the presence of mechanically damaged grain. In contrast to that on growing plants, insect infestation in bulks of stored grain is seldom conspicuous, and can destroy enormous quantities of the product before being detected. Moreover, because they produce heat and moisture insects are frequently succeeded by fungi which may eventually do more damage than the insects.
