This book aims to assess, evaluate and critically analyze the
methods that are currently available for a judicious pest
management in durable food. It presents and analyzes a vast amount
of methods that are already in use in "real world" industrial
applications. After the phase-out of methyl bromide, but also the
withdrawal of several insecticides and the continuously updated
food safety regulations, there is a significant knowledge gap on
the use of risk-reduced, ecologically-compatible control methods
that can be used with success against stored-product insect species
and related arthropods. The importance of integrated pest
management (IPM) is growing, but the concept as practiced for
stored products might differ from IPM as historically developed for
field crops. This book discusses a wide variety of control
strategies used for stored product management and describes some of
the IPM components. The editors included chemical and non-chemical
methods, as both are essential in IPM. They set the scene for more
information regarding emerging issues in stored product protection,
such as emerging, alien and invasive species as threats for global
food security, as well as the importance of stored-product
arthropods for human health. Finally, the analysis of the economics
of stored product protection is presented, from theory to practice.
