Summary

Significantly fewer Plodia interpunctella were trapped in the chilled aeration bins compared to the traditionally managed popcorn bins. Very few insect species were found in the probe traps, with the exception of Typhaea stercorea in July and August. Fewer beetles were found in the chilled bins when compared to the traditionally managed bins. Costs of chilled aeration (0.11 cents/kg) were competitive with the costs of conventional pest management practices (fumigation and ambient aeration) (0.096-0.17 cents/kg).
