About this book

Accurate species identification is essential for effective pest management. Stored-Product Insect Resource provides the most multi-faceted, comprehensive guide to information on 1,663 insect species associated with stored products.

Stored-Product Insect Resource covers 1,105 commodities and more than 9,200 different insect-commodity associations. A broad consideration of the species associated with stored products is important because many unfamiliar species are being encountered as a result of extensive international trade.

Information on 468 species of natural enemies provides a fuller understanding of the potential for biological control of stored product insects. Commodities that are likely to be infested are listed for each insect species and information on suitability of some commodities as food is also reviewed. Stored-Product Insect Resource includes a catalog that can help locate pictures and keys to identify stored product insects.

The authors each have more than 30 years of research experience and have taught stored product entomology. This is their fourth book on stored product insects. This title is a useful supplement to the textbook Fundamentals of Stored-Product Entomology by Hagstrum and Subramanyam. Stored-Product Insect Resource will be an important desktop directory for identifying and finding information on stored product insects.
