Psocids have become widespread pests of stored products during the last two decades, yet little was known about their biology and management until this change in their pest status.
Pests cause economic damage to crops and stored products, while vectors are responsible for the transmission of disease-causing agents in human beings and livestock.

Pests cause economic damage to crops and stored products, while vectors are responsible for the transmission of disease-causing agents in human beings and livestock.
Stored commodities are man-made ecosystems and interactions of biological agents with its surrounding physical environment could result in significant economic losses if physical environment is not manipulated to make it lethal or at least difficult for survival of biological agents.
