Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The primary objective of this study was to compare the effectiveness of malathion and synergized pyrethrum emulsions and a diatomaceous earth dust as wheat protectants in small bins—a method that is intermediate between large field-scale applications and small jar tests in the laboratory. This work is a part of a broad program of research to improve the quality of food that reaches the consumer by preventing damage in marketing channels.
