“…This approach makes an important conceptual advance by focusing on absolute numbers of survivors rather than percent mortality. Maximum pest limit is another concept closely related to the alternative treatment efficacy that focuses on survival rather than mortality (10,85). It is defined as the maximum number of insects that can be present in a consignment imported during a specified time at a specified location, and is therefore flexible in terms of treatment efficacy and permissible infestation levels (10).…”

Key Words quarantine pests, phytosanitary measures, probit 9 alternatives, generic treatments, systems approach ■ Abstract With world trade in agricultural commodities increasing, the introduction of exotic insects into new areas where they become pests will increase. The development and application of quarantine treatments or other mitigation approaches to prevent pest introduction in traded commodities raise many research and regulatory issues. The probit 9 standard for quarantine treatment efficacy has given way to riskbased alternatives. Varietal testing may have merit for some treatments or commodities but not for others. Development of generic treatments to control broad groups of insects or insects in all commodities can expedite new trade in agricultural products. Area-wide pest management programs lower pest levels before harvest and improve the quarantine security provided by any postharvest treatments. Systems approaches capitalize on cumulative pest mortality from multiple control components to achieve quarantine security in an exported commodity. Certain quarantine treatment technologies such as irradiation are not universally accepted, which is slowing their adoption. Standardized phytosanitary measures and research protocols are needed to improve the flow of information when countries propose to trade in a regulated commodity.

Esse método foi desenvolvido na Florida, em 1929, para evitar a dispersão de C. capitata (BAKER et al, 1990). No entanto, é necessário avaliar qual a faixa de temperatura e tempo de exposição mais adequados, que garantam a manutenção da qualidade intrínseca e ampliação da vida útil pós-colheita do fruto.…”

“…With an initial heavy infestation of 7,219 boll weevils per module, and a 2.002 ϫ 10 Ϫ6 rate of survival under the most lenient ginning and stringent statistical scenarios, the number of live boll weevils segregating into the cottonseed per module is calculated to be 0.0145, or one weevil per 69 heavily infested modules. Males are unimportant in the context of potential boll weevil reinfestations (Landolt et al 1984, Baker et al 1990, Hughes 2003. Assuming a 1:1 sex ratio, one would expect one female per 138 heavily-infested modules to escape alive into the cottonseed.…”
