Heat treatments for postharvest pest control : theory and practice

Due to the nature of agricultural commodities as carriers of exotic pests, importing countries have employed varying methods of pest control for postharvest products. Thermal treatments are emerging as effective alternatives to traditional methods. This book provides information of these increasingl...
