1987
Dick, K.M.
When grounduts are stored, either as pods or kernels, they are susceptible to insect attack. The publication describes the main pest species and briefly outlines their ecology and behavior. The use of traps to detect pest populations in stores is discussed and methods of estimating quantitative losses are described.
