This book presents the conclusions of an expert committee commissioned to evaluate the safety of residues of selected veterinary drugs used in food-producing animals, to establish acceptable daily intakes for humans, and to recommend maximum residue limits. On the basis of a rigorous review of all available safety and residue data, the committee established international standards intended to promote food safety and facilitate the harmonization of international trade in animal products. Integrated management of insects in storage products . Edited by Bhadriraju Subramanyam and David W. Hagstrum. Marcel Dekker, New York, 1995.
Insect pests cause large losses of stored food supplies in developing countries.
Combating them by pesticides alone is costly, hazardous to health, and increasingly ineffective because of insect resistance. Integrated pest management by improving environmental storage conditions can eliminate the use of all, or nearly all, chemical insecticides. This clearly written and comprehensive book will be useful to a wide variety of scientists and policy makers who are concerned with the causes, consequences, and prevention of storage losses due to insects.
