Stored grains and milled cereal products are subject to attack by insects that cause enormous losses annually. Of the many insects that have adapted themselves to a diet of dried vegetable material, a few are primary pests of grain in that they are able to bore into the sound kernels. Their initial attack opens the way for a much larger group that are unable to cut their way through the tough seed coat. It has been estimated that as a result of their feeding activities, their presence in grain and cereal products and the cost of methods employed to destroy them, this group of insects exacts a heavy loss in the world. In order to intelligently combat these insects it is essential to have a knowledge of their life histories, habits and environmental needs. In this book a attempt is made to acquaint the reader with these insects and the most effective methods of controlling them.
