Proceedings of the 4ᵗʰ International Conference on Controlled Atmosphere and Fumigation in Stored Products, Winnipeg, Canada, 1992
About The Winnipeg Conference
Taken from the Foreword by Shlomo Navarro and Jonathan Donahaye:
Taken from the Foreword by Shlomo Navarro and Jonathan Donahaye:
“The present conference meeting was decided upon during the “5th International Working Conference on Stored Product Protection” held in Bordeaux in September 1990, when several members of the Permanent Committee of the “International Conference on Controlled Atmosphere Storage of Grain” decided to hold the meeting in conjunction with the “International Symposium on Stored-Grain Ecosystems” in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in June, 1992.…
The objectives of the conference were:
- to assess the current status of controlled atmosphere application techniques and fumigation for control of insect pests, microflora and quality in stored grain and rellated products.
- to evaluate the technical, environmental and economical advantages and examine the potential for emerging controlled atmosphere technologies.
This conference took place at a crucial moment, with, on one hand, universal realization of the vital importance of continued grain storage conservation for food security at both national and individual levels, and on the other hand, the absence of a coordinated policy to guide the industry in maintaining this objective. There is still a worldwide reliance on fumigants for insect control in grain storage, and yet the intense pressure to phase out methyl bromide as a fumigant, coupled with mounting evidence of development of insect resistance to phosphine places our future reliance upon fumigation in question.
In spite of the urgent need to develop alternative insect control measures, there has been a general lack of institutional responce to the need to introduce already existing controlled atmosphere (CA) technologies into the commercial sphere, one notable exception to this being the stated policy and incentives given in Australia to the introduction and application of CA storage.
The papers presented in the conference proceedings reflect this general lack of policy towards the use of CAs, but they also reflect the widespread interest in this alternative to conventional fumigation, with 35 of the papers relating to CAs, and only 24 to methyl bromide and phosphine. Particular interest in the CA alternative is evidenced in the papers presented by participants from developing countries, and in several cases, this is the first time research groups from these countries have exposed their research objectives and evaluations at an intenrational forum.”
