The facilities and equipment available at KSU, Manhattan, KS, OSU in Stillwater, OK, Purdue, West Lafayette, IN, and at USDA ARS in Manhattan, KS are more than adequate for conducting this project. Numerous research scale bins and elevators are available on campus and commercial facilities for "field tests" will be solicited with the help of the advisory group. Dr. Ramaswamy maintains nearly 1200 square feet of laboratory space which includes all chemical, behavioral, and electrophysiological equipment necessary for work on behavior modifying chemicals.

    Dr. Phillips maintains 1600 square feet of laboratory space devoted to research on stored product insects, and he has a vehicle and all necessary equipment to perform the proposed field studies. Key to the field trials of OP replacements on stored grain will be experiments utilizing fieldstored wheat treated with various experimental materials and tested for residual activity against grain insects. These trials will be conducted in 12 steel grain bins, 180 bu each, located on the OSU campus.

    Dr. Arthur has a state-of-the-art entomology laboratory at ARS that contains all the insect colonies, application equipment, and controlled temperature and humidity chambers for conducting insecticide bioassays. Dr. Arthur has access to a working flour mill in Manhattan, KS where field trials of floor treatments can be conducted.

    Dr. Subramanyam has 1000 square feet of laboratory space which include 3 growth chambers for rearing insects and for conducting tests. The laboratory is well equipped with most materials necessary to accomplish proposed research objectives. In addition, the Department of Grain Science and Industry has 6 farm bins of about 500-1000 bushels capacity, a 100000 square feet pilot flour mill and a 100000 square feet pilot feed mill to conduct semi-field studies with heat and traps. The Department also has 2 vehicles for field trips.
