How to stop storage pests
How to stop storage pests
Objectives
Once pests have established themselves in stored agricultural products, they can cause major (financial) damage within a very short time. In case of infestation, it is therefore extremely important to (be able to) identify the storage pests quickly and correctly in order to apply the effective countermeasures without delay. The Julius Kühn Institute has created an online diagnostic tool for exactly this purpose.

Additional comments
The Project itself doesn´t have a Website.
Additional information
The tool deals with storage pests. Its online search page allows to “filter” pests
according to the damage symptoms they are causing and their features/characteristics. Finally the
user can identify the pests with the help of illustrations offered by the system.
The tool takes into account the latest scientific findings and recommends alternative protection
measures, which are allowed in organic farming. The tool can be used by everybody interested in
non-chemical crop storage protection options.
The search function has been designed to be user-friendly and simple: pests can be identified
reliably even without specialised knowledge. The portal adapts itself to the electronic device used.
