Physical control method

  • Manipulation of physical factors like heat, cold, humidity, light and sound are used in this method.
  • This method is applicable for the storage pest.
  • It can be done by following ways:

a. Manipulation of Temperature:

I. Application of High temperature:

  • Superheating of empty Godowns to the temperature above 50 0 C for 10-12 hours kill the hibernating stored grain pests.
  • If cotton seed is exposed to 52 0 C for 5 min the hibernating larvae of pink boll worm will kill.

 

ii. Application of low temperature

  • When stored grain pest is exposed to lower temperature below 5 0 C it kill the insects.

b. Manipulation of moisture:

  • Optimum temperature and higher moisture is favorable for insect attack.
  • Moisture of storage grain should be below 12% moisture.

 

c. Manipulation of light

  • Many insects are attracting UV- rays 320-400 nm is range of visible for insects.

 

d. Manipulation of sound

  • Male mosquitoes are attracted by special sound waves and made sterile by electronic flash gun in Canada.
