Against the background of the International Year of Pulses 2016 this project aims to investigate whether innovative stored products such as soy are susceptible to infestation by stored-product pests. This pilot project will be continued and the follow-up study deals with differences in the attractiveness of further plant products such as narrow-leafed lupine (high alkaloid content) and sweet lupine (low alkaloid content) to possible pest insects, and also, the susceptibility of simply processed oil seed rape (grist, flour). In view of the intensified cultivation and storage of novel commodities, additionally the emergence of a new, economically important pest spectrum as well as the risk of the introduction of new pest species need to be clarified.
