Abstract |
: |
A major problem in production, storage and marketing of the cereals and legumes is the infestation by the insects. Various studies made during the present research with reference to biological studies and control methods of two stored product insects, Tribolium confusum and Callosobruchus maculatus. The results of the present study revealed that the: Standard optimum temperature for C. maculatus and T. confusum fitness lie between the range of 30-35⁰C and a relatively high humidity of 65 percent. Microwave treatment is a potential means of replacing other methods and techniques for the control of storage pests because of pollution free environment, selective radiation and heating, energy minimization, equivalent or better quality retention. High temperature provided adequate protection of stored products against infestation by T. confusum and C. maculatus. Our results and those reported earlier indicate variations in the activity of chemical regarding the stage of the insect, the species of the insect, the origin of the chemicals, concentration level and exposure time against two stored product pests, T. confusum and C. maculatus. It is hoped that the findings may be applicable elsewhere, however, its’ validation in diverse environment with other stored products insects are suggested. |
