The detection of grain pests is great significance to storage. However, in practice, because the size insects too small identify. In this paper, feature fusion SSD(single shot multi-box detector) algorithm based on Top-Down strategy was proposed. Firstly, module used fuse output characteristics conv4 and conv5, block 11 which not conducive object deleted. Secondly, K-means clustering cluster pr...

Ethiopia is remarkably rich in its biological, ecological and landscape diversity and is home to outstanding natural bio-resources such as a number of herbs, aromatic and medicinal plants. The present study was carried out to study the composition, distribution and economic importance of insect pests of prioritized aromatic (Mentha sp., lemon verbena, fennel, rosemary, rosadamascene, oregano, p...

This paper presents a system for detection and recognition of pests in stored-grain based on video analysis. Unlike current systems which conduct analysis of static images, the proposed system uses video data captured by camera and performs video analysis to detect and recognize pests in grain. By using video data instead of static images, techniques such as motion estimation and multiple-frame...

Sweetpotato (Ipomoeae batatas (L.) Lam.) is an important food crop affected by several pests throughout the world, especially in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions. Although Japan is relatively free from many serious sweetpotato pests, some pests, especially soil-borne pathogens, viruses, and insects such as plant-parasitic nematodes and weevils, cause severe damage in Japan. In this ...

Sweetpotato (Ipomea batatans) is a food crop of global significance. The storage roots and foliage of crop are attacked by a wide range of pests and diseases. Whilst these are generally well controlled in developed countries using approaches such as clean planting material and monitoring with pheromone traps to guide insecticide use, research into methods suitable for developing countries has l...

Wheat, the main source of protein in human diet, is a staple food many countries. The yields and technological quality wheat grain depend on both yielding potential properties that allow its safe storage. To large extent, losses during storage are caused by pests. Grains 46 cultivars were used study (samples weighing 20 g each variety 10 replications), which development weevil Sitophilus granar...

Aluminium phosphide (AlP) is a common fumigant used for controlling rodents and pests in grain storage facilities. Its consumption reported accidental or suicidal cases carrying high mortality. In the present case, young male was with ingestion of AlP severe lactic acidosis systolic dysfunction. The patient managed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. reserved cases, ECMO can be instituted taki...

The field investigation during 2013-14 at Talwandi sabo, Punjab revealed that there are 19 insect pests identified from kharif crops whereas 13 insect pests were recorded from rabi crops. The 5 bio control agents and 2 ant species were recorded from agriculture field. In these Hemiptera and Lepidoptera are having maximum number of insect pests causing major damage to both kharif and rabi crops....

Susceptibility to two storage insect pests [(Cryptolestes pusillus (Sch . onherr) and Oryzaephilus surinamensis (L.)] of eight commercial oat cultivars from the United States was determined in laboratory studies. Duration of insect development was shorter and number of progeny produced was greater on cracked than on whole oats. Simulations based on data from the study showed that insect populat...
