Biodiversity of stored grain insects is often neglected as many of the workers think that it has limited or no diversity as consumer tolerance towards insect pests in stored grains is zero. Survey was conducted in six districts of Hyderabad-Karnataka region to find out the diversity and insects infesting major stored pulses during 2014-15. Callasobruchus analis L., C. maculates F., C. chinensis L. and T. castaneum H. were insect pests observed in collected pulse samples. Dinarmus basalis R., D. vagabundus T.,Dinarmus sp. and Uscana sp. were the hymenopteran parasitoids on pulse beetle collected from the samples. Rank abundance showed that C. analis was dominant species found on stored pulses.

During the offseason, when fresh food is not available, humans have to consume stored grain food. Unfortunately, these stored grains are later infested with many pests. Foods stored in bags and bins are very much susceptible to infestation with several pests which can cause extensive post-harvest losses, spoilage, and less demand in markets, causing a huge economic crisis. Hence, successful management of stored grain pests becomes necessary to prevent these from insect pests. Current approaches for their management are one of the promising goals, as it includes preventive practices, monitoring, sanitation, and identification of main pathogens. Different management strategies of all the common stored grain pests viz. grain weevils, grain borers, grain moths, flour moths, mealworms, grain and flour beetles, booklice, mites, and parasites are enlisted here.

Insects pest of stored grains. Impact on food security of Las Tunas municipality, Cuba Resumen Con el objetivo de determinar las especies de insectos plaga en granos almacenados para la obtención de información que contribuyan al manejo de sus poblaciones y minimizar las pérdidas que influyen en la seguridad alimentaria de la población, se realizó un estudio en la Unidad 639 de la Empresa Mayorista de Productos Alimenticios del municipio Las Tunas, Cuba, en el período de enero del año 2011 hasta diciembre del año 2013. En el estudio se colectaron e identificaron 26 especies de insectos plaga en las naves, distribuidas en 19 géneros y 12 familias, pertenecientes a tres órdenes, de ellas, 23 especies cosmopolitas y de amplia distribución en Cuba. Las principales especies de insectos plaga encontradas fueron Tribolium castaneum; Ahasverus advena; Bruchus pisorum; Sitophilus oryzae; Ephestia sp. y Liposcelis sp. El hospedante con mayor frecuencia de aparición de las especies de insectos plaga fue el arroz, seguido por el frijol y el chícharo. Palabras clave: almacenes; cereal; plagas Abstract In order to determine the species of insect pests in stored grains to obtain information that contribute to the management of their populations and minimize losses that influence the food security of the population, a study was carried out in Unit 639 of the Company Wholesaler of Food Products of the municipality Las Tunas, Cuba, in the period from January 2011 until December 2013. The study collected and identified 26 species of insect pests in the ships, distributed in 19 genera and 12 families, belonging to three orders, of which 23 species are cosmopolitan and widely distributed in Cuba. The main species of pest insects found were Tribolium castaneum; Ahasverus advena; Bruchus pisorum; Sitophilus oryzae; Ephestia sp. and Liposcelis sp. The host with the highest frequency of appearance of insect pests was rice, followed by beans and peas. Keywords:  Insect pests; storage; food safety.

Though most of the important insect pests of stored grain occur in Australia, and conditions are ideal for their development, insect control since the introduction of malathion has been so effective that Australian Federal legislation now requires that grain for export must be totally insect-free. The appearance of resistance to malathion in 1968 and its subsequent development in most grain-insect species, however, emphasises the need for alternative safe and effective grain protectants.

Seed coat puncture resistance of 42 cultivars of common and durum wheat, oats, barley and rapeseed were measured by puncture tests believed to approximate seed penetration by weevils infesting stored grain. All seven species of crops, several cultivars, and germ and endosperm parts of the seed within the same cultivar varied significantly [Formula: see text] in puncture resistance of seeds when their moisture contents were m equilibrium at 0% and 70% RH. Dry durum wheat (cv. Wakooma) showed the highest puncture resistance, moist rapeseed (cv. Torch) the lowest. The mean puncture resistance of the endosperm coat of moist crop cultivars ranged from 2,074 to 2,456 g for common wheat; 3,316 to 4,131 g for durum wheat; 1,145 to 1,404 g for oats; 1,321 to 1,861 g for barley; and 184 to 222 g for rapeseed. These differences m seed coat strength suggest that it may be one of the sources governing susceptibility to insect damage of stored grain. Thus, the drier the seed, the greater would be the difficulty for an insect to penetrate the seed coat.
