CONTROLLED AMBIENT AERATION AS A PEST MANAGEMENT STRATEGY IN STORED RICE

Objective

ARS will design modeling studies to predict accumulation of hours required to cool storage bins within the rice storage regions of the United States. Different aeration activation temperatures will be used. Sampling programs will be conducted to assess the impact of controlled aeration on insect pest populations in experimental rice storage bins and field sites.
