ABSTRACT

The need of integrated pest management in storage conditions is those that have led the field since the beginning, and more immediate objectives have been given impetus by government regulations, public demands, and broader commercial storage. The most of stored grain insects are reported to developed resistance against traditional insecticides so there are several methods are used for management of storage insects. Management in the storage environment is an essential tool in stored grain pest management. Management of the storage environment is an essential tool in stored grain pest management. It involves, primarily, the controls on in-store climate and infestation pressure which can be achieved by technically sound storage structures. Temperature management of stored grain and seeds is a best method which effectively kills the various life stages of insects. Almost all storage insects cannot be tolerate extreme temperature, for example, heating and cooling, super heating and super cooling of grains and seeds provide extra protection without any chemical treatment.
