Integration of biological and non-biological methods for controlling arthropods infesting stored products.

Author(s) : SCHÖLLER M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Chemical, physical, biotechnical and microbiological methods are discussed as well as resistant crop varieties, conservation of beneficials, kairomones and the manipulation of beneficials and interactions between different species of beneficials. Promising combinations include beneficials and hygiene, modified atmospheres, modification of the storage environment, Bacillus thuringiensis, the combination of certain species of beneficials and some natural insecticides. Monitoring of pests with pheromone traps can help to determine the time of release of mass-reared beneficials and simulation models can help to optimize the number of releases and released individuals.
