Applied methods for insect management in stored grain and oilseeds Results of the storage insecticides survey carried out by COCERAL, EUROMAISIERS, EUROMALT and UNISTOCK February 2018 COCERAL – EUROMALT – EUROMAISIERS – UNISTOCK 98 rue du Trône 1050 BRUSSELS - secretariat@ Tel : +32 (0)2 50 08 08 – Fax : +32 (0)2 502 60 30 Summary: This report describes the techniques implemented by European grain and oilseeds storage operators for pest management in stored grain, with the aim to prevent the build-up of insect infestations while avoiding pest resistance. Pest infestations in stored grains cause enormous economic losses through damage and contamination of food products. Under worldwide trading standards, the grain industry is committed to maintain the “zero tolerance” policy for live insects and other biological contamination. Therefore, harvested grain has to be stored in a manner which ensures that these standards are met. Currently, the available active substances are constrained to a limited number of fumigants and storage insecticides due to legislative restrictions. In this context, COCERAL, EUROMAISIERS, EUROMALT and UNISTOCK are carrying out surveys to get better understanding of insect management as it is applied by the grain and oilseeds storekeepers. Results from the surveys showed that European storage operators face difficulties to combine the current available management methods and techniques. Therefore, the four mentioned European associations emphasise the need for regulatory frameworks promoting the availability of storage insecticides and pest management solutions, as
