Abstract

Excerpt from the report: This report describes tests conducted to provide additional data needed on initial insect infestation of farmers' stock peanuts during storage. The tests were conducted, therefore, to determine: • If light is effective in attracting stored-product insects to insect traps. • If stored-product insects are attracted to ultraviolet light or to green light. • If the numbers of adult insects or larvae attracted to the traps are related to temperature, humidity, or vapor-pressure deficit, or all three, occurring inside the warehouses. • If larval traps are effective for monitoring the amount of larval infestation in stored peanuts. • If light or larval traps are effective in controlling insect infestation in stored farmers' stock peanuts.
