Stored-product insects can cause postharvest losses, estimated from up to 9% in developed countries to 20% or more in developing countries. There is much interest in alternatives to conventional insecticides for controlling stored-product insects because of insecticide loss due to regulatory action and insect resistance, and because of increasing consumer demand for product that is free of insects and insecticide residues. Sanitation is perhaps the first line of defense for grain stored at farms or elevators and for food-processing and warehouse facilities. Some of the most promising biorational management tools for farm-stored grain are temperature management and use of natural enemies. New tools for computer-assisted decision-making and insect sampling at grain elevators appear most promising. Processing facilities and warehouses usually rely on trap captures for decision-making, a process that needs further research to optimize.
储粮害虫会导致农产品产后损失，在发达国家，这一损失估计高达 9%，而在发展中国家则高达 20%甚至更高。由于受监管行动和害虫抗药性的影响，常规杀虫剂不断损失，以及消费者对无虫和无杀虫剂残留产品的需求不断增加，人们对替代传统杀虫剂控制储粮害虫的方法产生了浓厚的兴趣。对于农场或筒仓储存的粮食、以及食品加工和仓库设施而言，清洁卫生可能是首要的防御措施。对于农场储存的粮食，一些最有前途的生物合理管理工具是温度管理和利用天敌。在筒仓使用计算机辅助决策和害虫取样的新工具似乎最有前途。加工厂和仓库通常依靠诱捕器捕获来做出决策，这一过程需要进一步研究以实现最优化。
