Management of stored-product insects from the farm to the fork. 

  1. Identify biological hazards (key pests) along the farm-to-table continuum.
  2. Determine critical points along the continuum for control.
  3. Establish thresholds for management.
  4. Develop practical procedures for monitoring pests to determine if they have exceeded the threshold.
  5. Identify tactics (chemical and nonchemical) for exclusion or control.
  6. Evaluation of implemented tactics in managing pests.
  7. Project demonstrations and technology transfer.

Things to consider: 

  1. Develop a combination of viable PMSS tactics for the various commodities.
  2. Obtain stakeholder support.
  3. Conduct research as demonstration projects with involvement from end users to sustain use of the implemented tactics after the projects are completed.
  4. Conduct an economic analyses of tactics used.
  5. Evaluate implemented tactics, and determine causes of management failures.
  6. Dissemination of information and assessment of adoption of tactics by end users.
