Abstract

Treatment of the surface layer of wheat in 2-m3 bins with a commercial formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner controlled Indian meal moths, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), and almond moths, Ephestia cautella (Walker), for two grain storage seasons. Doses of 100, 125, and 150 mg of formulation/kg of wheat in the 10-cm-deep surface layer reduced moth populations by ≥81%, reduced insect feeding damage by > 92%, and reduced or prevented webbing of the grain surface.
