Technical Abstract:
Postharvest entomology can involve grain and grain-based commodities, tree fruits and nuts, citrus fruits, pome fruits, and vegetables. The insect pests and associated control strategies can vary depending on the specific host commodity, and the quarantine aspects associated with export of fresh fruit often places restrictions on the allowable treatments. The costs of infestation, insect detection, and management and control of insects in postharvest commodities can range into the millions of dollars because of the unique importance of postharvest commodities to the agricultural economy of the USA.
