of the grain, small convection currents pick up moisture and deposit Section B it in the cold areas. This can result in spoiled, crusted grain on the surface, in the middle of the bin, on top-center, or along the outside. To prevent condensation, aeration is needed to keep the grain within 15°F of the average outside temperature. Start aeration fans shortly Agronomic Crops after harvest, and run them periodically until November. In the spring, aeration should be used to raise the temperature of the grain to about 50°F.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING THE USE Inspect grain OF CHLORPYRIFOS: Inspect stored grain once a month. You can detect infestations using As of 12/20/20, the State of Oregon has adopted new a grain probe or by hand. Areas that are hot generally indicate an restrictive rules on the use of chlorpyrifos-containing infestation. Watch especially for signs of crusting near the top- products in Oregon. Please refer to Oregon Department center and outside edges. You might see live and damaged of Agriculture Permanent Chlorpyrifos Rule at kernels on the surface, especially at the crown. Surprisingly, large https://www.oregon.gov/oda/programs/Pesticides/ populations of these pests can develop by mid-winter. Light traps, RegulatoryIssues/Documents/Documents/2020/ pheromone kits, and other types of traps are available for collecting, ChlorpyrifosRule.pdf detecting, and monitoring many pests. Prevention Good housekeeping and rapid inventory liquidation are key to preventing infestations. Before harvest and grain storage: (1) remove grain, or else treat grain that is to remain in storage. Grain stored over 9 months is susceptible to infestation; (2) thoroughly clean with industrial vacuum the storage warehouse, floors, walls, ceilings, Farm-Stored Grain Pests cracks and crevices, and all equipment. The most common source of an infestation for newly stored grain is old grain residue Dale Whaley which is everywhere: in and on trucks, trailers, combines, dump pits, bins, augers, and virtually anywhere that grain passes or is stored. Latest revision—March 2021 Infestations may be introduced on pallets or in contaminated or infested bags of grain or seed, even though these may appear to be clean. Pelleted livestock feed, dry foods, feathers, and old In all cases, follow the instructions on the pesticide label. The PNW hides may also harbor the pests that infest stored grain. Insect Management Handbook has no legal status, whereas the pesticide label is a legal document. Read the product label before Protection making any pesticide applications.

Includes Grain to be stored 9 months or longer is often treated for protection Almond moth (Ephestia cautella) against and moths when augured into storage. The possibility Angoumois grain moth (Sitotroga cerealella) exists for rapid infestation as the protectant breaks down; storage Flour (Tribolium spp.) longer than 18 months is not recommended. Protectants are added to Granary weevil (Sitophilus granaries) the grain as it is unloaded, or as it enters the bin for final storage.

Minor infestations can be treated by Storing grain properly incorporating a registered product into the top 8 to 10 inches of grain. Store only clean, dry grain containing less than 12 percent moisture.

They frequently show black on portions of the body such as legs, antennae, or base of cornicles (tube-like structures on the posterior abdomen). Some species are important as vectors of barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV), which can negatively impact yield and quality of small grains, especially winter wheat and winter barley. Attempts to reduce incidence of BYDV by controlling established populations of aphids have not been successful. Seed treatment insecticides of the neonicotinoid group have reduced BYDV incidence especially when used in combination with delayed fall planting. Sampling and thresholds To control aphids, insecticide application may be considered when aphids average from 5 (early growth) to ten per tiller, per stem, or per head, prior to boot and > 25 after boot. However, there is rarely need to spray for aphids in small grains. Insecticide applications after grain is in the milk stage of ripening are of no value. In rare instances, foliar insecticide may need to be applied prior to harvest if the honeydew produced by heavy aphid presence could interfere with combine function. Management—biological control Occasionally aphids have been sufficiently abundant to cause localized damage to grain prior to grain fill, but usually they are held in check by predators and parasitoids. Aphid predators and parasitoid wasps are important. Do not apply broad-spectrum foliar insecticides until you have examined the field for the presence of predators or parasitized aphids (a.k.a “mummified” aphids). Syrphid larvae and ladybird beetle larvae are common predators of value that reduce aphid populations, therefore it is important to familiarize yourself with all developmental stages of these beneficial insects. The wasp Diaeretiella rapae is a common and effective parasitoid of Russian wheat aphid in intermediate rainfall in southeast Washington.

Larvae develop in the center or in the wall of the stem, which usually shows no external evidence of injury. Management—cultural control This insect is throughout most of the Pacific Northwest but has not been a serious pest. Apparently, only wheat is damaged. Adults may lay eggs in barley, oats, and rye, but larvae can complete development only on wheat. Avoid growing wheat within 125 ft of wheat straw or stubble of previous season, because the spring form is wingless and does not migrate any distance. Thoroughly plowing under stubble and clean summer fallow reduce insect populations. Management—chemical control Insecticide control is not recommended.

Small grain—Wireworm Includes: Sugar beet wireworm (Limonius californicus) Western field wireworm (Limonius infuscatus) Great Basin wireworm (Selatosomus pruinina) Pest description and crop damage Larvae (wireworms) are up to 0.75 inch long, yellowish, hard-bodied, and shiny. In the case of fall-sown wheat, larvae burrow into kernels or leaf whorl above seed. In spring seedlings, larvae attack kernels or underground portions of plant after sprouting. Damage is more severe in cool, wet spring weather. Management—chemical control Wireworms are usually a localized problem. However, in recent years they resurged as significant pests of small grains in the PNW. Be sure to use seed treatments for wheat and barley. While wireworms can cause damage in both wheat and barley, studies have indicated that barley is relatively more tolerant of the damage. Warning: Treated seed must not be used for food or livestock feed. If a proprietary seed dressing is used, follow manufacturer’s directions.
