Season 2, Episode 14 - Insects with Dr. Tom Phillips
When you think of insects, what comes to mind? Mosquitos? Spiders? What about weevils and other grain storage pests? In the world of cereal grains these can have huge impacts no matter which country you are talking about.
Our guest this week is Dr. Tom Phillips from Kansas State University. We discuss storage insects and a variety of other topics. More about his research can be found at his faculty website.
Globally we still have much work to do in order to reduce insect damage during storage. Hopefully you find our discussions insightful towards that end.
