Accra 10-12, April,2012 Insect Problems of Stored Agricultural and Food Products in Niger: Possible New Uses for PICS bags I.B. Baoua, L. Amadou, L.L. Murdock

What should be done to save others products and the health of consumers? Targets: Producers Traders Processors Consumers

Four(4) régions were concerned (8 local governments and 21 villages) 150 questionners from each region Samples of all agricultural and processed products were collected Samples analysis Insects are being identified Methodology

Key questions asked Types of stored products? The quantities of stored products? The insects destroying the products? The level of damage? The methods of storage?

Survey and samples collection in December 2011 Respondant and collected samples Total% of women% of menSamples

Survey and samples collection

Samples analysis at laboratory

Agricultural products Minimum % of damage Maximum % of damage Sorghum 075 Hibiscus seed 048 Millet 042 Tiger nut (Cyperus Esculentus) 324 Groundnut 020 Maize 017 Paddy rice 016 Voandzou 05 Sesame 01 Rate of damaged grains in collected samples

Storage methods used by the target ProductsPICS bagsPesticideNothingOthers Voandzou Sorghum Millet Hibiscus grains Groundnut

Insects found in the samples Maize: Tribolium spp Sitophilus spp

Voandzou (Vigna subterranea) Tribolium spp Bruchid

Sorghum: Tribolium spp; Sitophilus spp Oryzaephilus surinamensis, Cryptolestes spp, Sitotroga cerealella Oliver others non identified

Paddy rice: Tribolium spp others

Hibiscus grains: (Hibiscus sabdariffa) Acanthoscelidae

Groundnut: Tribolium spp Corcyra cephalonica

1.Does PICS bagging stop the insect problem? 2. Is grain moisture and molds a problem? 3. Will PICS stored seeds germinate ? 4. Are processing, cooking time, etc. affected? 5. Would PICS intervention be economical? With each new crop or product:
