Stored Grain Pest Management

Stored grain pest management involves protecting grains like wheat, corn, and rice from insects and pests during storage. This is achieved through good sanitation, using containers that prevent pest entry, and applying approved pest control methods like insecticides or biological agents when necessary. Regular inspection helps detect infestations early, reducing damage and maintaining grain quality. Proper aeration and humidity control also play crucial roles in creating unfavorable environments for pests. Overall, effective management minimizes economic loss, ensures food safety, and extends the shelf life of stored grains.
