INTEGRATED POST-HARVEST RICE MANAGEMENT AND INFORMATION DELIVERY: OPTIMIZING INSECT CONTROL AND GRAIN QUALITY

This cooperative project addresses impact of lesser grain borer infestations on milling quality of stored rice, movement, and dispersal in selected field sites, evaluation of new-reduced risk insecticides to control this species in stored rough rice, predicted impact of management strategies on lesser grain borer populations in the south-central United States, economic analysis of management costs, and integration of control strategies for stored rice.
