Excerpt from Detecting Stored-Product Moths in a Peanut Warehouse by Using Light Traps and Larval TrapsRadiographic analyses of the farmers' stock peanuts, as they arrived at the warehouse, revealed that insect larvae had been feeding on approximately nine of every kernels. After 2 months' storage, about 20 percent of the surface peanut kernels showed feeding damage.Under conditions of the test, both the light and larval traps were ineffective in controlling insect infestation. These traps, however, are valuable in detecting and monitoring insect infestations. In the test, green light traps, rather than ultraviolet light traps, were more satisfactory for this purpose.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
