Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Sorghum grain in farm storage is usually infested by stored-grain insect pests soon after harvest, unless control measures are applied. The sorghum grain used in this study was stored on the farm for about 6 weeks, during which time it became infested by a variety of insects. Cool winter weather then prevented a great amount of damage during further temporary storage in a metal holding bin. The primary objectives of this study were to compare the effectiveness of malathion and synergized pyrethrum emulsions and a diatomaceous earth in controlling the existing insect infestations and in preventing the establishment of other infestations during a continuous exposure to free-moving insect populations released in the storage area.
