Abstract
The application of a range of decision tools to the management of pests in stored grain is discussed. Included in this review are: Knowledge Acquisition and Surveys, Decision Analysis, Modelling and Expert Systems. A project integrating a number of these techniques, to provide a coherent training system, is also described. Improving understanding of underlying issues by all levels within a management hierarchy is seen as a key to enhancing the effectiveness of pest management. Improvements in decision-making procedures available to managers and pest control staff should lead to greater application of effective storage procedures and thus to reductions in overall storage losses and improved efficiency of pesticide usage.
