Abstract
The damage caused by various stored-product insects to grains and pulses and their products is reviewed from the literature and investigations by the author and his co-workers. Special attention is paid to uric acid (the main component of insect excreta) as an index of unhygienic conditions and the acceptability of infested grain.
