(bilogical i control of storage pests
Several insects develop easily on stored cereals and
pulses. For that reason. they are both a nuisance to the
storage manager. and an opportunitv to the SCientist who
seeks to understand population ecologv Storage managers
and theoretical ecologists need collaborate for safe and
effective control ot those insects m storage As haines
(1995) has pointed out. a thorough analvsis ot the ecology
ot tropical stored-product pests IS needed If we want to
control those pests Natural enenues will hav e to be included
111 such an analysis for the development of biological control
of stored-product pests m developing countries
