Bouncing death trials aim to curb grain pests in Australia
Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation scientists in Canberra are testing bouncing and shaking as a pest control method for grain. Immature grain weevils die after drops from 18 inches, and repeated drops or higher drops increase mortality. Researchers plan to apply bouncing via cascades and conveyor belts to move infested grain and kill weevils without chemicals.
