Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents findings from a study conducted in a peanut warehouse to detect the presence of stored-product moths using light traps and larval traps. The author conducted a series of tests to assess the effectiveness of green and ultraviolet lights in attracting stored-product insects to light traps. Results indicate that both light sources were effective in attracting insects, with green light being more effective for attracting Indian-meal moths and rice moths, while ultraviolet light was more effective for attracting almond moths. The study also found that the number of insects caught in the traps was influenced by environmental conditions, such as temperature and relative humidity and vapor pressure deficit, particularly 10 to 14 days before trapping. This data suggests that light traps and larval traps can be valuable tools for detecting and monitoring stored-product insects in peanut warehouses, helping prevent infestations and maintain the quality of stored peanuts.
