Reducing grain losses and ensuring grain quality have extremely important practical implications. Enhancing the granary's intelligence is particularly important due to several issues affecting residue grain sweeping, including manual inefficiency, incomplete coverage, and expensive equipment. This work proposes a new method called the Residual Grain Sweeping Visual Large Mode (RGSVLM)¹ based on the Visual Large Language Model (VLLM). First, we constructed a semantic dataset containing images of various residual grain dispersal patterns captured in real granary environments. We also introduced an improved version of the Fast Segment Anything Model (FastSAM) algorithm to detect residual grains in the field images, extract visual features, and achieve accurate segmentation. In addition, we crafted prompt engineering that combines image data to produce corresponding textual datasets that effectively reflect the real-world situation. Next, we integrated this dataset with a chain of reasoning framework to fine-tune the visual large language model for specific tasks. This approach compensates for the original model's limitations in logical reasoning, enabling it to simulate human thought processes and generate clear and reasonable answers. In a granary environment, RGSVLM performs better than other models. This study's development and implementation of RGSVLM offers innovative concepts and techniques for building intelligent granaries.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stored Products Research","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 102619"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143579695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Long-lasting insecticide-incorporated netting (LLIN) may be able to provide additional quarantine security against this pest as a strategy for high-risk commodities. The aims of this study were to evaluate 1) direct lethality, and 2) sublethal effects of exposure to two LLINs on semiochemical-mediated foraging and movement by <em>T. granarium</em>. Direct lethality was examined on larvae after a 5- or 60-min exposure to control netting (without insecticide), a 0.34% alpha-cypermethrin (Carifend, BASF), or 0.4% deltamethrin LLIN (D-Terrence, Vestergaard, Inc.) over 168 h. Sublethal changes in movement were evaluated immediately after a 5-min exposure. Finally, semiochemical-mediated foraging was evaluated 24-h after LLIN exposure by larvae in a release-recapture assay using pitfall traps baited with either no stimulus, food cues, or the sex pheromone for <em>T. granarium</em>. The recovery of larval <em>T. granarium</em> dramatically rose and peaked 72–168 h after exposure to LLINs, while the percentage of alive individuals in the control remained consistently high. Larvae spent 6–10% more time in low acceleration and not moving after exposure to alpha-cypermethrin and deltamethrin LLIN compared to the control netting. There was a 6.6-fold higher capture of larvae in traps after exposure to control compared to deltamethrin netting. Elevated response to food cues was suppressed after exposure to LLIN. Overall, there is evidence of significant impacts of LLIN on <em>T. granarium</em>, but high recovery after short exposures and subsequent unresponsiveness to pheromone-baited traps, which are critical for species detection, suggest limitations for using LLIN in management for <em>T. granarium</em>.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stored Products Research","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 102615"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143579696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional insect detection methods, such as visual inspection after grain sieving, have limitations in sensitivity and reliability, particularly regarding detection of immature stages sometimes hidden in the grain kernels. Molecular diagnostics, particularly DNA-based techniques, offer a promising alternative for improving pest detection accuracy in a grain sample. This study, conducted as part of the INSECT-FREE project, aimed to assess the perspectives of the European agrifood sector on the adoption of molecular diagnostic tools for insect detection. A structured survey was distributed to over 50 companies, including flour mills, grain storage facilities, and food processors, to evaluate current pest management practices, challenges, and the willingness to adopt DNA-based detection methods for insects detection. Results showed that over 90% of respondents considered the presence of insects to be a major concern, with traditional detection methods still dominant. However, 70% of companies using molecular techniques for other quality control applications, such as GMO and mycotoxin detection, expressed interest in incorporating DNA-based pest detection. This indicates a significant demand for reliable, rapid, and sensitive detection methods, emphasizing the potential for integrating molecular diagnostics into pest management strategies. The implementation of these molecular techniques could improve food safety, reduce economic losses, and support regulatory compliance. Further research should focus on optimizing cost-effectiveness and accessibility to facilitate widespread adoption of these molecular diagnostic methods in the agrifood sector.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":17019,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Stored Products Research","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 102616"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143579697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
